These kinds of sentences are called "pangrams" (meaning "all letters").
Here's a sampler, concluding with one of the SHORTEST possible (using each letter only once):
Pack my box with five dozen liquor jugs. (32 letters)
Jackdaws love my big sphinx of quartz (31)
How quickly daft jumping zebras vex (30)
Quick wafting zephyrs vex bold Jim (29)
Waltz, nymph, for quick jigs vex Bud (28)
Sphinx of black quartz judge my vow. (28)
Bawds jog, flick quartz, vex nymph (27)
Mr. Jock, TV Quiz Ph.D., bags few lynx (26)

I took a typing class in high school in the 1960's. Real typewriters with paper and so forth. I must have typed that sentence 10,000 times, possibly more.
Believe me, word processors a much better.
