The "Y" makes the vowel sound. I can't think of any English words without vowels.

TWYNDYLLYNGS is the longest word in English that doesn't contain one of the five vowels (AEIOU). It comes from Welsh and is obviously rare, but it does appear in the Oxford English Dictionary.
It turns out that "twyndyllyng" (singular) is a 15th century spelling of the word "twinling," which means, in modern English, "twin."

Sorry to tell you, Y is a vowel in this case because of the way it is sounded. To my knowledge, there are no such words.

the only word i know is cwn, which is a welsh harp, but the w is prenounced as oo in good. so technically it does have a vowel. Only words like pshhhhh, or tsss or hmm have no vowels
