Word World Records

Jiraiya Gomez of Yuma, Arizona, said "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious," the 34-letter word made famous by Mary Poppins, in 1.93 seconds. Filmed on an iPad looking up at Jiraiya from below, the two-second clip holds one quick run at the word with all 14 syllables audible. There is no on-screen timer, so RecordSetter timed the attempt from the audio, from the first sound of the word to the last. Mary Poppins would approve, if she could keep up.

Ael, a young poet from Chennai, India, handwrote a five-line limerick on a clipboard in 34.25 seconds. The poem follows the classic AABBA rhyme: a ghost who sat on a post, gave a great scream, dissolved in a dream, and vanished, almost. The continuous overhead video shows every line going down in pen under an on-screen timer, which stops as the last word is finished. A whole ghost story, rhymed and done in about half a minute.
