    4 consonants in a row in letters

    Find file attached

    I have manually placed Y on cell where i see a word like XYSTUS

    Required formula on f1 drag down , the formula to spot words where it finds 4 consecutive consonants at any position in the word

    The same formula should also work on SEVEN LETTER WORDS AND EIGHT LETTER WORDS TOO
