Why it's tricky
This 15-word twister packs its tricky sounds into a short window, so your tongue gets no rest between each trap. Tongue twisters work by packing similar or alternating sounds close together, so your lips and tongue have to reset faster than normal speech allows - practising them is a great workout for clear diction.
