It is a MYTH that there are words with no vowels -- unless you think that 'y' isn't a vowel. Then -- in addition to myth, you get words like BY, WRY, FRY, CRY -- and (apparently) one more word.

If you want absolutely no vowels at all, how about these examples that are legal in North American tournament Scrabble:
MM
HM
HMM
CWM
CRWTH
PSST
SSH
BRR
BRRR
PHT
TSK
TSKTSK
and the granddaddy, TSKTSKS
ZZZ is also newly Scrabble-legal.
If you allow Y, then there are quite a few, many of them already mentioned by others (why has nobody mentioned MYRRH though, considering the season?).

Spell Check has two vowels; use it and it will teach you the correct spelling for the word vowel.

There are more than just six...
First off, there are all the Y-words...Cry, Why, etc etc...
then like other people have posted here "cyst" etc..
and then I bet no one has mentioned this one...
GYM!!!
