i am counting y as a vowel

Do you count y as a vowel... because technically, it's not. You can have a 4 letter word then.

There are no English words that do not contain vowels, or you would not be able to pronounce them, as your mouth would not open.
"cwm," which is often given, has w as a vowel.
"nth" has n as a vowel.
Whatever letter gives the word the vowel sound is being used as the vowel, even if it's not one of the "standard" vowels.

If we refer to words that lack "true" vowels (a, e, i, o, and u), the answer is that a number of them do; among them are: hymn, rhythm, myth, sylph, and syzygy (the alignment of three celestial objects). These words contain the so-called semivowel y and none of the true vowels.
there are also acronyms such as RSVP and abbreviations
and dont forget sounds, like Grrr! Shh. and others

Aw...The other guy beat me to cwm.
The others are slightly correct, but "y" can be a vowel.

There's 3 for a start. Why do you think there's only one?
also, dry, why, fry, pry, ply, sly, try, wry (not nouns)
Then there are longer words: myth, crypt, rhythm, nymph
