A tongue twister is a phrase that challenges your tongue and threatens to
trip your lips. Saying it once might be easy, but the skills is being able to
say it five times fast. Below you’ll find a selection, from the easy peasy to
the fiendishly difficult. How fast can you say them? Try
reading them out loud. If you make a mistake, you have to start again – no
cheating ya!
Betty Botter had some butter,
"But," she said, "this butter's bitter.
If I bake this bitter butter,
It would make my batter bitter.
But a bit of better butter,
That would make my batter better."
So she bought a bit of butter –
Better than her bitter butter –
And she baked it in her batter;
And the batter was not bitter.
So 'twas better Betty Botter
Bought a bit of better butter.
"But," she said, "this butter's bitter.
If I bake this bitter butter,
It would make my batter bitter.
But a bit of better butter,
That would make my batter better."
So she bought a bit of butter –
Better than her bitter butter –
And she baked it in her batter;
And the batter was not bitter.
So 'twas better Betty Botter
Bought a bit of better butter.
Ned Nott was shot and Sam Shott
was not.
So it is better to be Shott than Nott.
Some say Nott was not shot.
But Shott says he shot Nott.
Either the shot Shott shot at Nott was not shot,
Or Nott was shot.
If the shot Shott shot shot Nott, Nott was shot.
But if the shot Shott shot shot Shott,
Then Shott was shot, not Nott.
However, the shot Shott shot shot not Shott, but Nott.
So it is better to be Shott than Nott.
Some say Nott was not shot.
But Shott says he shot Nott.
Either the shot Shott shot at Nott was not shot,
Or Nott was shot.
If the shot Shott shot shot Nott, Nott was shot.
But if the shot Shott shot shot Shott,
Then Shott was shot, not Nott.
However, the shot Shott shot shot not Shott, but Nott.
A tree-toad loved a she-toad
Who lived up in a tree.
He was a two-toed tree-toad,
But a three-toed toad was she.
The two-toed tree-toad tried to win
The three-toed she-toad's heart,
For the two-toed tree-toad loved the ground
That the three-toed tree-toad trod.
But the two-toed tree-toad tried in vain;
He couldn't please her whim.
From her tree-toad bower,
With her three-toed power,
The she-toad vetoed him.

Mr. See owned a saw.
And Mr. Soar owned a seesaw.
Now, See's saw sawed Soar's seesaw
Before Soar saw See,
Which made Soar sore.
Had Soar seen See's saw
Before See sawed Soar's seesaw,
See's saw would not have sawed
Soar's seesaw.
So See's saw sawed Soar's seesaw.
But it was sad to see Soar so sore
just because See's saw sawed
Soar's seesaw.
And Mr. Soar owned a seesaw.
Now, See's saw sawed Soar's seesaw
Before Soar saw See,
Which made Soar sore.
Had Soar seen See's saw
Before See sawed Soar's seesaw,
See's saw would not have sawed
Soar's seesaw.
So See's saw sawed Soar's seesaw.
But it was sad to see Soar so sore
just because See's saw sawed
Soar's seesaw.

The warm up
How may saws could a see-saw saw if a see-saw could saw saws?Double bubble gum doubles bubbles
The crafty cat crept into the crypt
No nose knows like a gnome's nose knows
An annoying noisy noise annoys an onion
Trickier twisters
These five are much more difficult – approach with caution.Red lorry, yellow lorry
The witch wished to wash her wristwatch
Three furious friends fought for the throne
If Stu chews shoes, should Stu choose the shoes he chews?
Six sick sea serpents swam the seven seas
Super chewy
These are the ultimate tongue-benders – beware, they're truly tricky.The big black bug bit the big black bear but the big black bear bit the big black bug back
How can a clam cram in a clean cream can?
A sweet and well-swum swan swam swimmingly
Five frantic frogs fled from fifty fierce fishes
The quick-witted cricket critic quit
The big one
If you're a tongue twister connoisseur, this one's for you.Fresh fried fish
Fish fresh fried
Fried fish fresh
Fish fried fresh.
