shortest sentence containing all the letters of the alphabet
Pangram A perfect pangram contains every letter of the alphabet only once and can be considered an anagram of the alphabet; it is the shortest possible pangram. An example is the phrase "Cwm fjord bank glyphs vext quiz" (cwm, a loan word from Welsh, means a steep-sided valley, particularly in Wales). Most such examples are not usually understood even by native English speakers, and so arguably are not really English pangrams. Perhaps the most easily understood perfect pangram is "Mr Jock, TV quiz PhD, bags few lynx"â€”but it includes three abbreviations (Mr, TV and PhD).
