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. 

Just like witty puns and palindromes, the simple purpose of a pangram is fun wordplay. But they’ve also been used effectively by artists to display various fonts in sentences using every letter and in children’s cursive and handwriting practice workbooks—you know, before cursive went the way of the dodo. 

Read on to discover some fun pangrams and see if you can make any sense of the really silly ones.
