      Those aren’t really English “words” though. There’s some old welsh in there which actually used W as a double U. And then some onomatopoeia, which while defined in some dictionaries, aren’t really words anymore than abbreviations like CIA or FCC are words.

        According to the Cambridge English dictionary a word is simply “a single unit of language that has meaning and can be spoken or written”, so acronyms and onomatopoeia are words as much as any other apparently. Maybe they would consider an acronym multiple units of language bound together though so not itself a word.

              Y is only sometimes a vowel: when it forms a vowel sound in a word.

              In the case of “dry, crypt and dryly”, we could perhaps spell them “drie, cript and drielee” if we wish to see where those more familiar vowel sounds exist in those words.

                Yeah, I’ve been reading up on it since the previous commentator drew my attention to it. Odd the bits of eduction you miss in life.
