Give it a go!

You’ve heard about “Peter Piper.” You know about what woodchucks would do with wood. But have you heard about the Tidy Tiger?

As always, practice by reading the sentence well. Check the explanation. Then say the tonguetwister out loud. Then say it out loud again and again. Then say it perfectly and go faster. Then, when someone hears you, tell them you’re not going insane... you’re just practicing English!

Explanation:
tidy (adj) = organized or cleaned up
tidy (verb) = to organize or clean up
tie (noun) = a piece of clothing worn around your neck
tie (verb) = to fix a piece of cloth together (for example: tie your shoes)
tight (adj) = well-fixed, stable, the opposite of loose
tiny (adj) = very small

Pronunciation:
All of these words have the same vowel sound: long i (or “aɪ” as it is written phonetically). For example, “tie” rhymes with “hi” “bye,” “my,” etc.

Meaning
A tiger (who likes to be organized) put a tie on her little tail.
