Usually only a, e, i, o and u are considered vowels.

A, E, I, O, U and sometimes Y are vowels.

Y is not a vowel. Y does not come out as a vowel in Countdown.

it says on wikipedia that it can be a vowel or constant here

so problem solved

Yes, wikipedia, the great source and factual place we all should trust. Oh look, I've found something on wikipedia too, quoted from the 'Words without vowels' page:

"However, there are many words that do not contain a vowel letter (defined as AEIOU) in their written form. In most of these, such as try, the letter Y stands for a vowel sound. (Abbreviations such as km are not considered words in their own right.)"

Y has a vowel 'sound', doesn't mean it's a vowel.

If it was a vowel I would have been taught it at school as a kid, I wasn't therefore it isn't.




Hmm, pie.
