Sphinx of black quartz, judge my vow. (29 letters)

Waltz, bad nymph, for quick jigs vex. (28 letters)

A perfect pangram contains every letter of the alphabet only once and can be considered an anagram of the alphabet. The only perfect pangrams of the English alphabet that are known use abbreviations or other non-dictionary words, such as "Mr Jock, TV quiz PhD, bags few lynx", or use words so obscure that the phrase is hard to understand, such as "Cwm fjord-bank glyphs vext quiz", in which cwm is a loan word from the Welsh language meaning an amphitheatre-like glaciated depression, vext is an uncommon way to spell vexed, and quiz is used in an archaic sense to mean a puzzling or eccentric person. It means that symbols in the bowl-like depression on the edge of a long steep sea inlet confused an eccentric person.

Because it's simpler, and has simple words, easy for kids to learn and remember.

As I've said before. Quick brown fox is chill and comforting, like a pleasant autumn day at the park or perhaps a forest. Sphinx of black quartz is objectively a million times nerd shit and uncool. It tries too hard to be cool. Like a mom or dad trying to use the new slang that the kids have been throwing around. And because they don't know how to use it, the slang is made to be out of place, uncool. Maybe if it was in the midst of some great, terrible, perilous story of bravery and heroics - a choice line said when it was most needed - it would be amongst good company. But it's not. It's just a sentence used to display the letters of the alphabet. So diluted and stale. Through this constant repetition, this constant exposure, it has lost potency. Venom in blood so carefuly exposed a hundred fold as to experience no symptom. But Quick Brown fox suffers no ill side effect, because it was bred for this purpose. It knows what it has been made to do and does it with pleasure.

Thanks for reading.

Doesn't the first sentence in this post specifically not include "s"? So, not all letters are included?

Wikipedia gives the conventional pangram: "the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog".

To answer honestly, it's because the first sentence only uses common and easy to spell words.

No amount of coolness can ever beat the cute animals.

The sphinx, as a type of chimera, represents a bridge between life and death (or for the ancients, this life and the afterlife). It will judge you and all your vows whether you like it or not.

Simplicity trumped form when such things were drawn up

The second sentence is harder

"The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" has a certain rhythm to it. The first half is about the fox and it's all quick, monosyllabic words, then in the second half it's about the dog and every other word is two syllables. ...or something like that.

also that first sentence does not have an 'S' in it.

"The slow black dog bows before the regal fox" will forever be in my head thanks to that one episode of Philip K Dick's Electric Dreams.

(Yes, it's missing the Z. That's part of the point.)

Time for a sentence that really uses all letters. At least all the letters from latin scripts. So give me some Þ and some ß.

It's easy to remember. I can't forget about the quick brown fox. However, I've already forgotten the alternative. Something black? Idk

Is even better

'The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog' does not contain the letter S.

I sometimes see it used on some font websites

Fine. Using this from now on.
