Question

Help answer this question below.

Can you right a sentence using all the letters of the alphabet, without repeating any letters? My friend says there is one, but won't tell me what it is, and I've failed trying to figure it out...

    The answer is no.

    The sentence "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog." uses every letter of the alphabet!

    The sentence "Pack my box with five dozen liquor jugs" uses every letter of the alphabet and uses the least letters to do so!

    without repeating? I don't know...but I know one with all of them but they repeat. Here it is.

    The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.

    This is called perfect pangrams and no sentence has ever been done that makes sense using English letters to form a perfect pangram. Or at least none has been documented thus far.

    The closest thing I have found to a sentence that makes logical sense and is a perfect pangram, or anagram of the alphabet is:

    "TV quiz drag nymphs blew JFK cox."

    The end is a little off but it is the closest thing I have found.

    the obvious "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog"

    I'm sure you can make up lots more using the wonderful invention that is the semi-colon

    There's also this shorter one:
    "Sphinx of black quartz, judge my vow". (29 letters)

    Phrases using all the letters are called Pangrams.
    There are some that do not repeat any letters but most of the words are obscure to say the least.

    You can find much more of them here:

    Sure, I can write the right sentence for you. I remember this from typing class: "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog."

    "Cwm, fjord-bank glyphs vext quiz."

    Cwm = (Welsh origin) a mountain hollow (I think)
    glyphs = strange written characters
    vext = archaic spelling of "vexed"
    quiz = an eccentric person

    So, "In a mountain hollow, strange characters on the bank of a fjord irritated an eccentric person."

    Not that I think this counts as an "English sentence" but it is a perfect pangram.

    I can't. There is one that includes all the letters of the alphabet, but it does repeat letters.

    yes, there are 2 but there are obscure words:

    1. Cwm fjordbank glyphs vext quiz.
    2. Quartz glyph job vex'd cwm finks.

    There is also a sentence that uses 31 letters. It is the one with the least letters out of the sentences that make sense. It is:

    Jackdaws love my big sphinx of quartz.
