sag, Rythm
Marcbmann, Y is a vowel in rhythm
Landmammals, Crwth
doctorn, Fun fact: In Dutch ‘vowels’ is the same word as is used for ‘streetstones’ (klinkers), so if you ask this question in Dutch, the answer is ‘dirtroad’. 😅
hglman, This is a very dutch reply, 🤣.
Anticorp, “What’s ‘vowels’, precious?”

7heo,
OneWomanCreamTeam, Only by wheel of fortune rules.
elbarto777, What does this mean? What’s the rule?
Gingernate, Vowels are A, E, I, O, U and sometimes Y
TonyTonyChopper, y is a vowel here
vsh, Haiti?
foggianism, Myst
SilverFlame, Y functions as a vowel in this instance
kerrypacker, You can’t just identify as a vowel.
activ8r, Y can and does. You have a problem with that? Go complain on the internet.
foggianism, Well in my native langugage “r” sometimes acts as a vovel, but it’s never considered one. We have words like: smrt, tvrd, prst, krt, vrt, brk…
Facebones, Hsptl?
SpringMango7379, Tch!
Sorgan71, hllgkt
Kolanaki, Try, cry, pry, wry… <- Except that in these instances, Y is the vowel. Unless you’re playing Wheel of Fortune, where Ys are always counted as consonants and cost nothing to play.
force, (edited ) Spelling-wise? Depends on what you mean by “vowel” and “word” – vowel isn’t really a term for letters/spelling, it only really makes sense in a phonemic/phonetic context. So, phonetically? Yes – i.e. words that only have a rhotic in the nucleus like “curd” which is just [kɹ̩d] in many rhotic dialects like most American English, “and” is often pronounced [n̩], “can” can be [kn̩]~[kŋ̍], “full” can be pronounced [fʟ̩] in some dialects (includinɡ mine). You can also include paralinguistic words like “shh” [ʃ̩].
HenryWong327, I also don’t get why you’re being downvoted so much. Great answer.
funkless_eck, I was going to post a less in depth reply along the same lines. Don’t know why you’re being downvoted.
JackGreenEarth, In these examples such as curd and full, isn’t shwa the vowel? You can’t actually not have a vowel if you pronounce it.
force, (edited ) /ɚ/ in American (including Canadian) English as in “nurse”, “curd”, “certain”, is usually labelled a “rhotacized vowel” in a phonemic context but it’s more precisely described as an approximant (due to the fact that it has some constriction around the palato-velar area, uvula, glottis, molars, and/or labio-dental area, depending on which variety you speak). And as I said, “full” is pronounced with no vowel in certain varieties.
