Doesn’t the first sentence in this post specifically not include “s”? So, not all letters are included?
Wikipedia gives the conventional pangram: “the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog”.
Because it’s simpler, and has simple words, easy for kids to learn and remember.
Notably this post gets it wrong too, missing the S. It’s “the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog”.
As I’ve said before. Quick brown fox is chill and comforting, like a pleasant autumn day at the park or perhaps a forest. Sphinx of black quartz is objectively a million times nerd shit and uncool. It tries too hard to be cool. Like a mom or dad trying to use the new slang that the kids have been throwing around. And because they don’t know how to use it, the slang is made to be out of place, uncool. Maybe if it was in the midst of some great, terrible, perilous story of bravery and heroics - a choice line said when it was most needed - it would be amongst good company. But it’s not. It’s just a sentence used to display the letters of the alphabet. So diluted and stale. Through this constant repetition, this constant exposure, it has lost potency. Venom in blood so carefuly exposed a hundred fold as to experience no symptom. But Quick Brown fox suffers no ill side effect, because it was bred for this purpose. It knows what it has been made to do and does it with pleasure.
Thanks for reading.
“The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog” has a certain rhythm to it. The first half is about the fox and it’s all quick, monosyllabic words, then in the second half it’s about the dog and every other word is two syllables. …or something like that.
Sphinx of black quartz, judge my vow. (29 letters)
Waltz, bad nymph, for quick jigs vex. (28 letters)
A perfect pangram contains every letter of the alphabet only once and can be considered an anagram of the alphabet. The only perfect pangrams of the English alphabet that are known use abbreviations or other non-dictionary words, such as “Mr Jock, TV quiz PhD, bags few lynx”, or use words so obscure that the phrase is hard to understand, such as “Cwm fjord-bank glyphs vext quiz”, in which cwm is a loan word from the Welsh language meaning an amphitheatre-like glaciated depression, vext is an uncommon way to spell vexed, and quiz is used in an archaic sense to mean a puzzling or eccentric person. It means that symbols in the bowl-like depression on the edge of a long steep sea inlet confused an eccentric person.
I sometimes see it used on some font websites
The sphinx, as a type of chimera, represents a bridge between life and death (or for the ancients, this life and the afterlife). It will judge you and all your vows whether you like it or not.
pack my box with five dozen liquor jugs
It’s missing h and t, so that’ll have to be hot liquor jugs.
Nope, all there: with
I better stick with quick brown fox
Too many liquor jugs? 😁
No amount of coolness can ever beat the cute animals.
maybe the sphinx is half cute half animal

El veloz murciélago hindú comía feliz cardillo y kiwi. La cigüeña tocaba el saxofón detrás del palenque de paja.
Fine. Using this from now on.
‘The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog’ does not contain the letter S.
It’s jumps.
“The slow black dog bows before the regal fox” will forever be in my head thanks to that one episode of Philip K Dick’s Electric Dreams.
(Yes, it’s missing the Z. That’s part of the point.)
It’s also missing I, J, M, N, P, Q, U, V, and Y.
That’s nearly half the alphabet. As approximate pangrams go, this one failed harder than any I’ve seen before.
Mild spoilers, but in the show, >!it isn’t supposed to be a pangram, but a response to one, sort of like an anti-pangram. f you’re trying to focus on the typical ‘quick brown fox’ pangram, it breaks your concentration. It sounds close, but the more you think about it, the worse it gets and the less you’re able to focus on the real one.!<
But my point is that it still confuses me and pops up in my head when I’m trying to think about the real one.
Time for a sentence that really uses all letters. At least all the letters from latin scripts. So give me some Þ and some ß.
Also some č æ ø đ ē ç œ
