Why isn't 'y' a vowel?

 

[tree]

Why isn't 'y' a vowel?

In the USA and for the purpose of this game,
we use the letter "Y" as a vowel.

In elementary school we learned the vowels as:
a,e,i,o,u, and y.

Xylophone

 

[tree]

Xylophone

That's an ok word, but the next word
to be played should start with the letter "W."

Because #928, the last word played was
vie.

 

[KennyIOM]

Wasn't "Why" the last word played?

 

[tree]

Wasn't "Why" the last word played?

The format of this game wasn't
designed that way.

If that person had just put
"why"
then it would have been a valid game entry.

I thought so, but when I searched it- it wasn't listed. I also didn't allot a bunch of time to the search though. Off to search again.

Thanks

I found this:

Is the letter Y a vowel or a consonant? | Oxford Dictionaries

'Semi-vowel', since it functions as both a vowel and consonant

Yes, the precise way we recited it in elementary school
was "a, e, i, o, u, and sometimes y."

So, yes, for the purpose of this game,
the letter "Y" can be considered a vowel.
