all alpabets in one sentence?

Answer 1

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)
Waltz, nymph, for quick jigs vex Bud (28)
Bawds jog, flick quartz, vex nymph (27)
Mr. Jock, TV Quiz Ph.D., bags few lynx (26)

By the way, "a","b"., "c" and so forth are each called a "letter". NOT an "alphabet". ("Alphabet" is the word for all the different letters together, especially when arranged in the order of a to z.) So, the way to ask your question is to ask "What is a sentence with all the letters of the alphabet in it?"

Answer 2

The traditional answer is a 35 letter sentence using all 26 of the alphabet's letters.

Your first contributor almost had it, but perhaps mis-remembered.

The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.


"The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" is a 35-letter pangram (a phrase that uses all the letters of the alphabet) that has been used to test typewriters and computer keyboards because it is nicely coherent and short. It was known in the late 19th century, and used in Baden-Powel's book Scouting for Boys (1908) as a practice sentence for signalling."

Answer 3

This 27-letter sentence contains all 26 letters:

QUARTZ CWM GLYPH JOB VEXED FINKS

It is a headline from a Welsh newspaper about a group of tale-tellers who were angry about some carvings they found on the special type of rock in a local valley.

You can reduce it to 26 letters by changing the second E to an apostrophe.

Answer 4

I'm going to assume you were asking for a sentence with all the letters of the alphabet in it:

The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.

Answer 5

There was a typing exercise that went "The quick brown foxes jumped over the lazy dog" and we used it because it contains all the letters of the English alphabet.

Answer 6

The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.

Answer 7

The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.
It has all the alphabets

Answer 8

the previous sentence had NO 's'.
The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dogs back.

Answer 9

Amazingly few discotheques provide jukeboxes.
