A 6 letter word (english) with no vowels

[deptfordmarmoset]

While we're at it, let's not forget the vowel ', pronounced like a short 'i', as in
- the boss's car
- Frances's necklace

Except of course in the case of contractions such as isn't and won't where the apostrophe signals the opposite: the disappearance of a sounded vowel....

A vowel is a sound. Sounds matter. Letters are meaningless.

No, a vowel is a letter. There is a huge variety of vowel sounds that are mapped on to those 5 or 6 letters.

Personal for @robjh: "crwths"

Edited for grammar.

Y is both vowel and consonant, so no need to ring Victoria.

'An huge'? That makes my brain itch.

It makes mine aitch.

I'm surprised nobody's piped up to say that the /w/ in crwth is used as a vowel.
