What is another word for a tongue twister?

There isn't a single perfect synonym for "tongue twister", but here are some options depending on the context:

General Alternatives:

* Logorrhea (refers to excessive talking, but can be used to describe a rapid sequence of difficult sounds)

* Verbal gymnastics

* Speech impediment (though not technically a synonym, it's often used to describe the difficulty of saying tongue twisters)

* Word puzzle

* Brain teaser

More Specific Alternatives:

* Alliteration: If the tongue twister is built on repeated initial consonant sounds (e.g., "Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers")

* Phonological puzzle: This emphasizes the sound-based challenge of the tongue twister.

Ultimately, the best alternative depends on the specific context and the nuance you're trying to convey.
