Hey, bubba, there is NONE. The W does not exist in Spanish. The very few that you might find in the dictionary come from other languages, like whiskey

There are no true Spanish words beginning with the letter 'W'. Although one may be able to find some in a Spanish-English Dictionary, they are all words borrowed from other languages, such as English.

all of them were borrowed from English and other languages, they are not really considered to be Spanish words, as you will see most of them do not need a translation.
e.g.
wàter= water closet
web= web
whiskey= whiskey
water polo= waterpolo
Walkman= Walkman
again they are Not considered to be genuine Spanish words!

ps- i was going to list all of them but your question seemed to merit a singular answer. plus erik van thienen went to the same online spanish dictionary i went to, (or similar) and copied all of them anyway.... ;-p and nobody's listed this one!!
