Is the letter y a vowel in word crazy?

That's a great question! In the word "crazy", the letter "y" acts as a vowel.

Here's why:

* Sound: The "y" in "crazy" makes the sound of a long "i" (like in "cry").

* Position: It's taking the place of a vowel within the syllable "cra-zy".

So, even though "y" is typically considered a consonant, in this case, it's behaving like a vowel.
