Q. Are there any words that use w as a vowel?
A. Yes.
Cwm (a steep-walled semicircular basin in a mountain, sometimes containing a lake; a cirque) and crwth (an ancient Celtic musical instrument), both from the Welsh, use w as a vowel — standing for the same sound that "oo" stands for in boom and booth. Crwth is also spelled "crowd."

W is a semi-vowel but usually used as a diphthong with o or e.
People are so rude. If you ever took english, you know that "u" is a vowel. Well "w" is "double U" Oh and a crwth is a stringed instrument.

Ummmm - dear, W is not a vowel, it's a consonant. The vowels are A,E,I,O, and U. And sometimes Y. Though I can see how you'd think that "Double U" would be a vowel!
OK, I stand corrected - just read the post below! Love learning stuff!

FIRST OF ALL TO ALL THOSE WHO ARE CALLING NAMES TO THE ASKER....W IS NEITHER A CONSONANT NOR A FULL VOWEL. IT IS A SEMI VOWEL. OTHER SEMIVOWELS IN ENGLISH ARE 'Y' AND 'R'.

W is not a vowel ever. "Y" on the other hand, is the one that is sometimes a vowel. What about "gypsy" or "by"?
