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

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

How to play Anagrams

Anagrams is a board-free word game that involves rearranging letter tiles to form words. It is very often played 'out of hours' at Scrabble tournaments around the world. The game has various other names, in particular 'Snap Jarnac ' in the UK. The game has been sold separately as a commercial product, but at Scrabble tournaments is typically played by any number of players (typically 4-8) using two sets of Scrabble tiles of different colour. Tiles are placed face down on the table and then turned over one by one, and players form words by combining unused tiles with existing words, their own or others'. Whenever a player can form a word with the tiles in the middle of the table, possibly combined with words that he or another player has already formed, he calls out the word and uses those tiles to spell it out in front of him.
