What was the rhythm puzzle you asked?

Answers

The question was simply, "What characteristic or quality or aspect (pick whichever you like) does the word "rhythm" have which makes it unique in the English lexicon?" In other word, "In what category is the word "rhythm" number one?"

Would the word rhythm be the only word that uses the Y as its only vowel.

Either that, Mitch, or the "thm" part is the only syllable without a vowel; although my grade school teachers always said that rhythm is only one syllable.
