The 'a' in 'cyan' looks suspiciously vowel like to me....

We can definitely call something a word if it has no vowels. It would be possible to define something as "English word" stating that because there's no word in English that has vowels we can state that word must have at least one vowel, but it would be too artificial.

Saying Y is not a vowel is misleading. All the words listed except "brrr" contain a Y.

The premise of the entire list is erroneous because it does not understand the definition of a vowel.

Words that REALLY do not use vowels:
Ch
Hm
Mm
Sh
St
Brr
Cwm
Hmm
Pht
Pst
Shh
Tsk
Twp
Zzz
Brrr
Cwms
Pfft
Psst
Tsks
Zzzs
Crwth
Cwtch
Crwths
Tsktsk
Tsktsks

Most likely seven-letter words

According to Scrabulous ETAERIO is the most likely seven-letter word to get in Scrabble. It refers to an aggregate fruit, like a raspberry - which is actually lots of little fruits joined at their bases. Another likely word is TAENIAE - the plural of TAENIA which was an ancient Greek hairband. Some other high-probability bingos containing five vowels, in order of likelihood, include: AEOLIAN - relating to the wind (the image is of an aeolian harp - a harp played by the wind) OLEARIA - daisy bush AIERIES - eyries or eagles' nests DOULEIA - veneration of saints in RC Church AEONIAN - everlasting AENEOUS - brass coloured or greenish-gold AREOLAE - coloured rings around human nipples AUREOLE - halo ALIENEE - person to whom a transfer of property is made EUGENIA - plant of the clove family AEROBIA - organisms that require oxygen

What to do with ZA

So your opponent plays ZA, one of the commonest ways of playing Z on the board. If only you could add some letters before it. All you can think of is RIZA. Well, that is the only four letter word ending in ZA - well done. How about these five letter words? BAIZA BONZA BRAZA COBZA COLZA FORZA GYOZA HAMZA MATZA MIRZA MOTZA PLAZA SADZA SPAZA And if you have a blank to make a second Z you can play these: HUZZA LEZZA PIZZA TAZZA ZANZA There are many words which begin with ZA - I'll come to those next time.
