Best Answer

There are 21 consonants in the English alphabet (B, C, D, F, G, H, J, K, L, M, N, P, Q, R, S, T, V, W, X, Y, Z). There are a total of 26 letters in the English alphabet. To find the fraction of the alphabet that is made up of consonants, you would divide the number of consonants by the total number of letters, which gives you 21/26. Therefore, approximately 80.77% of the English alphabet is made up of consonants.

The question you asked does not completely make sense, as a word cannot be catagorised in one or the other. In the alphabet there are five vowels (a, e, i, o, u) and all the other letters are consonants. So in answer to your question, Anagram is made up of both vowels and consonants. Hope this helps
