The answer (I think) is between the ABC and DEF (so others can try)
ABCRHYTHMDEF

But then again, some people consider the Y a vowel.

Don't let schooling interfere with your education. www.grammar.cl - www.vocabulary.cl

Yes, the word is there.
I never was taught Y is a vowel. I know there are twelve different vowel sounds + eight different sound combinations with two vowels, yes?
I haven't read the previous posts about Y as consonant, Embarrassed [:$]

Here's another word with no vowels:-

"Brrr"

as in the sound you make when it's cold!

Got this from the Official Scrabble Word book so it must be in the Chambers Dictionary. It surprised me as well!

'Rhythm' - a six letter word with no vowels!

And if plural, seven letter word, but that is less funny.

Something is really amazing for me, just a syllable in some nine letter words : screeched , scratched.

try "Crwths." A Crwth is a scottish instrument resembling a lyre, making it plural: Crwths. six letters, no vowels, no half-vowels like "y."

I expect a check in the mail.
