Use all the letters of the alphabet in the shortest phrase or sentence?

Answer 1

"ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ," sang the children.

Answer 2

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)
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)
