all alphabet sentence

[JDR]

I am working on improving my penmanship, but I am a little tired of writing: The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. Does anyone know any other sentences that contain all the letters of the alphabet? Thanks in advance for your help.

These are known as pangrams. Try googling pangram and you'll find all you need.

"Pack my box with five dozen liquor jugs" is my favorite. Good for typing practice too for those of us that are self-taught.
