How many vowels and consonants are there in English alphabet?
IF THIS IS NOT a trick question, there are 5 vowels and 21 consonants in the English alphabet, (at the moment!) making a total of 26 letters in the English alphabet.
(The number of letters has changed over the centuries, but this is another matter!)
The letters a,e,i,o,u, are traditionally called vowels (See Cambridge Advanced Learner's Dictionary) but, to be technical, the vowel 'sound' is also associated with the 'consonants' w and y.
(Merriam-Webster's dictionary says: Vowel: a letter or other symbol representing a vowel -usually used in English of a, e, i, o, u, and sometimes y.)
IF THIS IS a trick question, and actually means "How many vowels and consonants are in the words 'English alphabet'?", the answers could be:
- 5 vowels and 10 consonants, or
- 3 vowels (2 of which are repeated), plus 8 consonants (2 of which are also repeated)
A better question is: How many vowels and consonants are there in the English language?
The answer is: it depends on dialect and variation. RP has 24 consonants and 23 vowels, whilst American English has 25 consonants and 19 vowels.
The phonology of the English language is a big subject. The link below gives more information, but it is by no means definitive on the matter.

What is the only English word that is spelled alphabetically?
The word 'alphabetically' is the the only word that is spelled 'alphabetically.'
No other words are spelled that way. (That is the riddle answer.)
On the other hand, many words are spelled with all their letters in alphabetical order.
Some examples:
3 letters: beg, box, few, hip, low, mop, not
4 letters: abet, bell, chin, clip, clop, drip, drop, felt, flux, gill, gilt, hill, lost, lust, most, must
5 letters: abbey, abhor, abort, begin, dotty, films, first, forty, ghost
6 letters: almost, biopsy, chintz
The longest word that has all its letters in alphabetical order is aegilops* (8 letters).
Aegilops is ...
(a) an eye ulcer, or
(b) the botanical name for a specific type of oat grass.
Because 'aegilops' is a medical or scientific term that has limited usage in the everyday vocabulary of most people, the word 'aegilops' is not listed in every dictionary.
