Three-letter vowel-less word describes a word in the English language which contains three letters, none of which is generally recognized as a symbol representing a vowel. These words will usually contain voiced vowels that are represented or implied by the consonant letters.
Examples:
* cwm -- A steep bowl-shaped hollow on a hill or mountain, for example the Western Cwm on Mount Everest. (This is a Welsh word sometimes found as a loanword; more usually, it has been adapted and spelled in a more usual English manner as comb or combe. It should be noted that w is a vowel in Welsh.)
* nth -- Relating to an unspecified ordinal number: ten to the nth power. Highest; utmost: delighted to the nth degree. Pronounced "enth".
Several onomatopoeic words also fit into this category, such as brr, grr, hmm, pht, pst, shh, and tsk, although whether these count as true "words" may be disputed.
Many English words have the letter Y as their only vowel; three-letter words of this nature include cry, dry, fly, fry, gym, gyp, ply, pry, shy, sky, sly, spy, sty, thy, try, why, and wry. The letter Y is regarded grammatically as a vowel-consonant, but many people who speak English regard it as a consonant only. Longer such words also exist, such as crypt, cyst, dryly, flyby, glycyl, glyph, Gypsy, hymn, jynx, lymph, lynx, myrrh, myth, nymph, psych, pygmy, rhythm, shyly, slyly, spry, spryly, Styx, sync, synth, syzygy, tryst, wryly, and xylyl. The longest English word that does not contain any of the five traditional vowels is the 12-letter Twyndyllyngs. The longest commonly used English word not containing one of the 5 vowels is the seven-letter rhythms.
An example of a five-letter vowel-less English word:
* crwth -- A stringed instrument.
Both Welsh and English-speaking linguists consider the "w" in cwm and crwth as a vowel. In both words it makes the "oo" sound, as in the word loose.

There is no word without a vowel. In English, you couldn't pronounce a vowel-less word. The ones people suggest here have y's and y can be a vowel.

If you don't consider the alphabet y to be a vowel, then the word can either be Fry, Try or Cry.

There is no word, 3-letter or otherwise, with no vowels in the english language. All words have at least one vowel per syllable.
