Other than interjections such as "Ooo!" and "Aieee!" (OED variant of aiyee), there are almost no English words consisting of vowels, or having only vowel sounds.
There are the one-letter words I and a, but the others listed as Scrabble words are not everyday English:
AA - AE - AI - AIA -
EA - EAU - EE - EUOI - EUOUAE -
IO - OE - OI - OO - OU
Of these, only eau, from French, seems familiar. The term euoi is ostensibly a cry from a Bacchian revelry and euouae is a mnemonic of the vowels in seculorum amen (last two words of a Gregorian chant in Latin).

∙ 6y agoAll English words have vowels or vowel sounds. The letter Y, although it is a consonant, can also be a vowel. In some Welsh words, the letter W is a vowel.
Some acronyms (or initialisms such as CNN) may not have vowels, and onomatopoeia words such as psst, shh, mmmand grr have vowel sounds but not actual vowels. The sounds zzz and tsk are not even spoken words (snoring, clucking tongue).
The mathematical word nth also has no vowels (but is pronounced as enth).

What is the word without a vowel?
You cannot produce a non-utterance in spoken language with vowels. Since written language is a representation of the spoken language, you cannot have words without vowels.Technically, no. "y" in the examples like shy is a vowel (as it makes a vowel sound); just like in loan words such as Gwn (whereby Welsh uses "w" as a vowel). A vowel is not defined by the letter that represents it but rather by the sound that is produced
