Is y a vowel in the word worrying?

No, the letter "y" is not a vowel in the word "worrying". It's acting as a consonant in this case.

Here's why:

* Sound: The "y" in "worrying" makes a "w" sound, which is a consonant sound.

* Position: The "y" is at the beginning of a syllable ("wor-ry-ing"), and usually, "y" acts as a consonant when it starts a syllable.
