Words which don't have any of the five standard vowels (a, e, i, o, u) have a 'y' instead. Some examples of those are:sky why by cry fry my ply rythm why
a, u, and y

There is no English word without a vowel. The vowels are A, E, I, O, U and sometimes Y and W. Some vowel-free vocalisations exist, such as brrr and zzzz and pffft, but they are not really words. rhythm but without y is nth because y can count as a vowel

Two words that contain all the English vowels (AEIOU and Y) are "facetiously" and "abstemiously" which even have them in order (also abstentiously). Other words are educationally and precariously. *For just the 5 standard vowels, see the related question below.
When forming the plural of words ending in "y," we change the "y" to "i" before adding "es" to maintain correct spelling and pronunciation. This rule helps to avoid creating awkward combinations of vowels in English words.
