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 A, E, I, O, U) 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.

I was taught it is sometimes a vowel. W is also sometimes a vowel, like in cwn.

Maybe this can help.

"The letter is probably more often used as a vowel, but in this role it's often interchangeable with the letter I. However, the consonant sound is not consistently represented in English spelling by any other letter, and perhaps for this reason Y tends traditionally to be counted among the consonants."

“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

- George Orwell, ‘1984’
