X Marks the Spot Sound Tangler Riddle-Puzzle
The X:
The idea of this puzzle is like trying to say something awkward 10 times, but here each X entry has its own subtle pronunciation, which would limber up any tongue in the X-ese language. Another approach is to write them out in whatever order you want pronunciation as you go. You will find both confusingly challenging.
X (chi/ki, now YZ indeed?
eks, plural exes):
eks __ ks gz kzh k/sh h z gzh kh
kh eks __ ks gz kzh k/sh h z gzh
