There are no words in English without vowels. In the word "syzygy," there are three vowels, all Ys.

If there are no vowels in a word, you would not be able to pronounce it. Vowels open the mouth to let air out, while consonants close off the air flow by definition. Try saying a word without opening your mouth and letting any air out - impossible.

[There are a few onomatopoeic sounds that have no vowels, such as shhh, tsk, grr - these are not words, but sounds.]
