202 twisters

Hardest Tongue Twisters in the World

Some tongue twisters are hard. These are the ones linguists actually test with. MIT researchers famously found "Pad kid poured curd pulled cod" too tough for most speakers to say cleanly even once. "Red leather, yellow leather", "Irish wristwatch", "The sixth sick sheikh's sixth sheep's sick" — this is the deep end. Take a breath, slow it right down, and try.

Pro tip · Break it into two-word chunks and speed up only when each chunk is clean. Repeating the whole thing fast never works.
