Have you ever heard of the sentence: 'The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.'? It contains all of the letters of the alphabet.

What sentence can you think of that contains all of the letters of the alphabet? Remember: it must be just one sentence, and it must contain all of the letters of the alphabet at least once

 

As many of you found out, the proper name for a sentence that contains all of the letters of the alphabet is called a pangram. They are useful for people who want to learn how to type quickly, or for people who want to look at fonts on a computer.

Again, I recieved many good answers (some even sent in long lists of pangrams!), yet I cam only print a few here, as you lot have already eaten most of my mini-prizes and I'm running out! I shall buy more for next half term...
