17 Vowel-Free Words Acceptable in ‘Words With Friends’

Words with Friends is a popular game for your smart phone or iPad. I don't know how well these words would go over in Scrabble (probably not at all), but they will work when you play with your iPhone/Andriod-toting friends!
BRR – The way you tell people that it’s super chilly and the way you tell your WWF opponents that you don’t care what they think of you.

CWM – Oh, boy – pronounced “koom,” it’s another name for a “cirque,” which is a bowl-shaped mountain basin often containing a lake.

HMM – Accepted (in addition to “hm”) as a sound of contemplation. When you’re thinking just a wee bit harder, it’s “hmm” instead of “hm.”

NTH – Having the quality of being the last in a series of infinitely increasing or decreasing values. (As in, “the nth degree.”)

There's more, with 5, 6, and even 7 letters in this list at mental_floss! Link

Cwm isn't actually pronounced "koom", but I can't figure out a way of spelling it phonetically in English. It's not quite "kum" and it's not quite "koom". Being a Welsh word it isn't really elligible for this list, partly because it's not an english word and partly because w is very definitely a vowel in Welsh.

There are SO, SO many legit words in Scrabble that aren't accepted in Words with Friends - especially the 2-letter ones. It's just laziness by Words with Friends programmers. And they exclude/censor 'rude' words that Scrabble has accepted for decades. Time to smarten up, Words with Friends, or you won't have too many friends before long.

'Cwm' is the Welsh word for valley, and 'w' is totally a vowel! It occurs in 'g?r' (a husband) and 'd?r' (water) and is always pronounced with the lips moved forward. Keep up the good work, Neatorama.
