    jumps over the lazy dog.

    Otherwise there’s no “s.”

    It tells a short story that’s visual and full of words people know how to spell.

          As a non-native yet quite fluent speaker of English, I was wondering where the letter s was supposed to be in the example above. Thanks for pointing out the very obvious thing anyway, brains can fart at times.

            The full sentence is, “the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.”

            Intent is to use every letter of the English alphabet. Thing is, I’ve heard “jumped” for decades now which ironically leads to s being skipped. I say ironically because it’s one of the most commonly used letters.

              Huh, I don’t know where I got it from but I always typed it as this: “the quick little brown fox jumps over the back of the lazy dog” tried googling it just now and all I got was the shorter one.

      Cwm fjord bank glyphs vext quiz. This one gets bonus points for not repeating any letters. Also bonus points cause it starts with “cwm fjord” which is objectively funny.

      (Meaning: A weird person was annoyed by symbols on the opening of a sea valley’s walls)

    Two of those words are difficult to spell, a third is quite often misspelled, and the phrase is not as easy to remember.

      There’s also no “f” in that phrase. The whole point is to showcase a font.

          thank you, I’ve been racking my brain rereading every word in that sentence looking for the “f”. That “of” kept hiding in plain sight. Either that or I’m blind.

    Sphinx of black quartz is for edgy nerds who take themselves to seriously. Quick brown fox is chill, like a cool autumn day when the light hits just right and everythings golden. It’s bliss

      counterpoint: quick broen fox is corporatized af while sphinx of black quartz has one hell of a vibe. you’re right that the fox is comfy because the cozy zone is the only spot where fun and corpos intersect and this one just so happens to fall into it but keeping it people-centric was never the point.

      case in point: the test sentence we use in my native language translates to “floodproof mirror drill” to test out all our weird diacritics. no autumn vibes there, only corpos

    The shortest is apparently “Waltz, bad nymph, for quick jigs vex.”

    The pangram article also lists “Glib jocks quiz nymph to vex dwarf,” but without an article before nymph and dwarf it seems to be written in headlinese. I guess it could say “Glib jocks quiz dwarf nymph to vex” instead.

            I love everything about that except, being Norwegian, they pronounce Æ wrong 😁

            The Danish (and therefore correct 😜) pronunciation is much more akin to the vowel sound in “yeah”, “fair” or “there”

    It’s jumps, not jumped, otherwise there’s no S.

    When I started my career as a telecoms data engineer back in thr '80s the we used QBF to test modems on dial up data connections…the tester had a QBF button that would sent the text to a tester at the other end or it could even test round a loop back to itself.

    You could inject errors with a button and these errors would count up on a basic 8 segment red led display to prove everything was working okay…happy days
