PANGRAMS
Pangrams are sentences containing all the letters of the alphabet.
Pangram is in the Oxford English Dictionary, 2nd ed., with the earliest citation from 1964, although the word pangrammatic goes back to 1933.
Here is a list of pangrams compiled from various sources. The number of
letters used is shown for most of them. The shortest ones are obviously contrived and use obscure words only found in unabridged dictionaries.
One even uses a Roman numeral. Stuart Kidd assisted with this
compilation.
