How about sky, fly, myth, try, tryst...
(FYI, "Y" is NOT a vowel, it's a consonant. it is sometimes, as here, used like a vowel, but it is NOT a vowel.)
There are actually many words without true vowels.

In English, any pronounceable syllable requires a vowel. In many words, the letter 'y' serves the vowel purpose, which is why we say that the vowels in English are "a, e, i, o, u, and sometimes y". Thus, no word can be formed without a vowel.
However, if you want to be a stickler and NOT call 'y' a vowel, then there are a whole raft of words with no vowels:
cry
shy
myth
glyph
syzygy

The letter Y is often used as a vowel. You can find words without vowels by looking into any dictionary that has Welsh words. There are several languages where the vowel is not used, only implied.

If y is deemed not to be a vowel, then there are words that will work for you. The answerers provided a few for you.

There are no such words. Y is considered a vowel.

myth-a traditional or legendary story, usually about a being or hero or event, with or without a determinable basis of fact or a natural explanation, such as one that is about gods or demigods, and explains some practice, rite, or phenomenon of nature.
syzygy-an alignment of three celestial objects, as the sun, the earth, and either the moon or a planet.

Myth. A false, but long-lasting account of something. e.g. Greek Mythology.
