A pangram is a sentence that contains all letters of the alphabet. Such sentences are also called holalphabetic sentences. Constructing a sentence that includes the fewest repeat letters possible is a challenging task.
By far the most well-known pangram is, “The quick brown fox jumps over a little lazy dog.” This sentence is generally used to test out new typewriters, presumably because it includes every letter of the alphabet.
