Pangrams

Originating from Greek pan gramma, meaning “every letter,” a pangram is a sentence using every letter of the alphabet at least once. Pangrams actually have uses. An example it is a pangram that displays all the letters of a font’s typeface on a computer. Pangrams are also used in keyboarding exercises to reach all the alphabetical keys. However, pangrams are also practiced as a form of constrained writing, where the goal is to create the shortest pangram within the limits of the alphabet while making sense.

The classic is “The quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog.” (33 letters, English)

“Pack my box with five dozen liquor jugs.” (32 letters, English) was created by Mark Dunn in his 2001 novel Ella Minnow Pea. The plot is conveyed through mail or notes sent between various characters. Cute, huh?

“Sphinx of black quartz, judge my vow.” (29 letters, English)-unknown origin.
“Mr. Jock, TV quiz PhD, bags few lynx.” (26 letters, English), another unknown which has the appeal of making sense but, for purists, fails because it uses abbreviations.

“Squdgy fez, blank jimp crwth vox!” (26 letters, English)
This means "A short brimless felt hat barely blocks out the sound of a Celtic violin." It was the creation of Claude Shannon. It fails the purity test by not having an article before the noun.

One would think Mr. Shannon had better things to do. According to Wiki, he was an American mathematician, electrical engineer, and cryptographer known as "the father of information theory."
"Shannon is noted for having founded information theory with a landmark paper, A Mathematical Theory of Communication, that he published in 1948. He is, perhaps, equally well known for founding digital circuit design theory in 1937, when—as a 21-year-old master's degree student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)—he wrote his thesis demonstrating that electrical applications of Boolean algebra could construct any logical, numerical relationship. Shannon contributed to the field of cryptanalysis for national defense during World War II, including his fundamental work on codebreaking and secure telecommunications." (wiki)
