What is Tongue Twister? Ever heard before tongue twister. According to The Chambers Dictionary it is a formula of sequence of words difficult to pronounce without blundering. A tongue-twister is a phrase that is designed to be difficult to articulate properly, and can be used as a type of spoken (or sung) word game. Some tongue-twisters produce results which are humorous (or humorously vulgar) when they are mispronounced, while others simply rely on the confusion and mistakes of the speaker for their amusement value.
Some examples are as below:
