Every Letter of the Alphabet in One Sentence

A “pangram” is a sentence that uses every letter of the alphabet.

You’ve probably seen one without realizing it. One of the most classic examples is The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.

But there’s more to the pangram party. Some word lovers take it up a notch by crafting "perfect pangrams," which use all 26 letters only once. They're rare and wild, like: Mr. Jock TV quiz PhD bags few lynx. (Say that three times fast!)

Pangrams pop up in surprising places. NASA once used them to test cockpit displays. And children learning cursive often trace that foxy sentence to practice every letter.
