Oh Slovenian has you beat here. We have 2 words with only consonants and 6 letters. That being vzbrst and sntntn. So yeah...

Edit: I just remembered zmrzlina also used to be the word for ice cream here about 200 years ago. Similar to it we also then have zmrznjen (frozen) for 6 conconants in a row with basicaly the same root of the word.

Oh yeah sadly not wirh many high scoring letters. We also have a bunch of other words with just consonants. Like čmrlj, smrt, vrt, prt.... Probably many more I just cannot think of.

It doesn't even have a vowel!

Tsk tsk, Hobbes.

Just two? Cute. Czech has entire sentences without consonants.

[–] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Oh well I forgot to say they are 6 letter words but sure give me an example of such a sentence.

Chrt pln skvrn vtrhl skrz trs chrp v čtvrť Krč.

or

Blb vlk pln žbrnd zdrhl hrd z mlh Brd skrz vrch Smrk v čtvrť srn Krč.

The most commonly known one is

Strč prst skrz krk.

Cool. Still no 6 letter word with only conconants.

Čtvrtsmršť, scvrnkls, čtvrthrst, cmrndls, zmrzls... take your pick.
