What words starting with constant but sounds like vowel?

You're looking for words that start with a consonant but sound like a vowel! These are called vowel-like consonants. Here are some examples:

* W: Think of the word "we". It starts with "w" but sounds like the vowel "e".

* Y: Think of the word "you". It starts with "y" but sounds like the vowel "u".

Important Note: "W" and "Y" can act as vowels at the beginning of words, but in other positions they are considered consonants.

Let me know if you'd like more examples or explanations!
