Barring "y" words...
What about "nth"?
nth -
1. being the last in a series of infinitely decreasing or increasing values, amounts, etc.
2. (of an item in a series of occurrences, planned events, things used, etc., that is thought of as being infinitely large) being the latest, or most recent: This is the nth time I've told you to eat slowly.
There are words that appear in our language that do not contain vowels, such as "crwth," an ancient Celtic musical instrument. Obviously, though, it's origins aren't English.

There are words that do not contain the common vowels a, e, i, o, and u. However, all words contain them or y and w. They are some common like fly, my, why, and some words in old English spelling where the u following a q is substituted by a w.

NTH s the one English phrase with no vowel it way to the tip or final measure. There are Celtic and Welsh phrases corresponding to CWM that means valley however in equity the W within the Welsh language is a vowel. Words corresponding to DRY or DRY with just a Y in them are not able to rely because remembering the ancient rule A, E, I, O, U and oftentimes Y, that means while showing by myself in a phrase this is a vowel. So NTH is it.

y is considered a vowel when there are no other vowels in a word

I'm not sure if dictionaries or any kind of ruling has been made, or even if you or anyone else will accept them as 'real' words.
But given the recent online chatting and short forms of texting, 'words' such as:
Pwn
Pwnd
Among others.
Might be...

No there are none...
....unless you consider sh, psst, or grr to be words.
If you are speaking STRICTLY of vowels, then there are words with semi-vowels (aka subvowels) such as hymn, try, sky, my, etc.
