The pangram, or holoalphabetic sentence

Pangram

A pangram (Greek: pan gramma, "every letter"), or holoalphabetic sentence, is a sentence which uses every letter of the alphabet at least once.

Interesting pangrams are generally short; constructing a sentence that includes the fewest repeat letters possible is a challenging task.

Longer pangrams that are enlightening, humorous, or eccentric can be noteworthy in their own right. In a sense, the pangram is the opposite of the lipogram, where the aim is to omit one or more letters.

Here are three pangrams in three different languages:

English: The quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog.

German: Zwölf Boxkämpfer jagen Viktor quer über den großen Sylter Deich.

(It means: 12 boxers chase Viktor across the great dam of Sylt)

Italian (without foreign letters): Pranzo d'acqua fa volti sghembi.

(It means something like: Your guest will not be happy if you feed him water)
