Pangrams

If you liked reading this, pass it on.

A sentence that contains all 26 letters is called a pangram. The best known one is “The quick brown fox,” yada yada, but there a few lesser known ones, like:

  • The five boxing wizards jump quickly. (Great if you’re a Harry Potter fan)
  • Jinxed wizards pluck ivy from the big quilt. (Also seriously Potteresque)
  • Crazy Fredrick bought many very exquisite opal jewels.

Between you and me, making up pangrams is a great way to pass time in a boring meeting. You look quite serious, and you’re writing stuff down, so you have to be working, right?

Do you think you can come up with one? Post it in the comments below. Found a good one online? Post that, too.
