Say it? I canât even think it!
Try âGig Whipâ ten times really fast. Bet you donât make it past the 3rdrepeat.
âThe sixth sheikhâs sixth sheepâs sickâ
Toy boat.
Toy boat toyboatoyboatoyboytoyboyâŠ
So yeah.
Really? I donât even find this one hard. My favorite is Unique New York.
I guess thereâs an accent thing in play, since I found that one fairly easy.
I think the best tongue twisters are the ones that donât require you to say it X times, so I approve of this scientifically-discovered twister!
OK, pab kid . . . no wait . . . pad kin . . . hold on . . . pab . . . shit. Guess not.
Weird. Just as a point of anecdata (hinting they might not be onto a universal truth here) I have no trouble repeating that quickly. Other tongue twisters like the âsheikhâ one above are much harder. For me.
Unusual (for me) in that it was no trouble until the fifth repetition or so, then went haywire.
Maybe the difficulty of tongue twisters varies from person to person, but that one is not as difficult for me as the classic âshe sells sea shells by the seashoreâ. I can barely say that phrase at any speed.
Try saying it as individual groups of two words each. Itâs much easier to do if youâre not trying it as a sentence.
This one doesnât seem hard. I just rattled it off about ten times with almost no errors. 'the sixth sick sheikhâs sixth sheepâs sick" is much harder for me than this one.
I also didnât have any trouble with this one, but have lots of trouble with the other commenter examples.
What do we have in common? Iâm from the midwest, in case there is some sort of regional thing going on.
I have to believe there exists a harder tongue-twister in Klingon.
Weird, that wasnât that bad. I have more trouble with âred lorry, yellow lorryâ
Promptly performed with proper pronunciation. Prepare by properly pronouncing the prominent Pâs!
This is the toughest one Iâve seen yet. Before I saw that, the best Iâd seen was a Japanese tongue twister:
æ±äșŹèš±ćŻć±èš±ćŻć±é·ăä»æ„æ„éœäŒæèš±ćŻă
Romanized, thatâs:
TĆkyĆ kyokakyoku kyokakyokuchĆ, kyĆ kyĆ«kyo kyĆ«ka kyoka.
