Words Without Vowels
Every word with no A, E, I, O or U: the Y does the work, or no vowel at all.
In most of them Y does the vowel's work: rhythm, crypt, myth, gym. A few have no vowel sound written at all: hmm, brr, shh, psst, tsk and nth. Two come from Welsh, where W is a vowel: cwm (a valley) and crwth (a lyre).
