Some words that have a silent "y" are "yacht," "yogurt," and "yolk." These words are pronounced without the "y" sound at the beginning.

There are 3: I, a silent E, and Y (an E sound)
The short I is seen mostly is I words, and some Y words, and in at least two odder spellings. I words : dip, sit, bid, lift Y words : rhythm, myth, system E words (BE/DE/RE) : began, before, depart, repair EE words : been U/E words : business (the U and E have short I sound, the I is silent)
No. The word ice has a long I and a silent E. The long E can be heard from the Y in "icy."

It is impossible to say for sure because it is silent. Here it is not a consonant.The reason that Y is seen as a consonant in some silent Y words is that its consonant sound (yuh) appears in somepronunciations of longer words (e.g. player, saying).
The Y is often a long I at the end of words, such as cry, try, fly, deny, and rely. It is also long in silent E words such as bye, dye, rye, rhyme, and byte, and in longer words such as gyrate and zygote.
No silent is a word. Silent has: two vowels = i and e four consonants = s,l,n and t

Ho many words can be made combining s e and y
No, the Y is not silent. Remove the Y (making it silent) and it becomes ellow!
