18-word tongue twister · sound focus: y · difficulty: medium
How to say it
Glides like w and y feel smooth but stack up fast. Take a breath before each phrase — running out of air is what usually breaks the run.
The five-times-fast test
A tongue twister isn't beaten until you can say it five times in a row without slowing down. Take a breath, start slow, and speed up on each pass. Use the mic practice mode to hear where you slur.
