Pangrams Every Word Lover Appreciates

[army judge]

Yes, I'm a lifelong fan of pangrams.

My first introduction to a pangram was explained to me by my mother.

I've loved them, the silly ones, witty ones, thought I'd share a few with our little crew.

What is a pangram?
A pangram is a sentence that includes every letter of the alphabet at least once. You've most likely heard of the popular pangram involving the quick brown fox—it's a go-to for teaching typing and even made its way into an episode of The Simpsons. There are many more fun pangrams in the English language. And yes, while some of them make sense, others are totally silly.

Here are a few examples:

• Sixty zippers were quickly picked from the woven jute bag.

• My girl wove six dozen plaid jackets before she quit.

• Brown jars prevented the mixture from freezing too quickly.

• We promptly judged antique ivory buckles for the next prize.

• Farmer Jack realized that big yellow quilts were expensive.

• When zombies arrive, quickly fax Judge Pat.
• Pack my box with five dozen liquor jugs.

• Six big devils from Japan quickly forgot how to waltz.

• Amazingly, few discotheques provide jukeboxes.

• The quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog.

• How vexingly quick daft zebras jump!
• The jay, pig, fox, zebra and my wolves quack!
• Fake bugs put in wax jonquils drive him crazy.
• Vamp fox held quartz duck just by the wing.

Do geese see god
Never odd or even
Able was I ere I saw elba

Lewd did I live evil did I dwell
Lonely Tylenol
No lemons no melon


Ironically, aibohphobia (a palindrome itself) is the irrational fear of palindromes.

Ironically, aibohphobia (a palindrome itself) is the irrational fear of palindromes.

Of course, whoever came up with that one did it intentionally. It would have been very easy to see once they put phobia backwards and realized that it would work as well as the descriptor of the fear. If he/she was at all into wordplay that would have been too good to pass up.
