Pangram Checker

Type or paste a sentence and we'll tell you if it uses every letter of the English alphabet — and which letters are missing if not.

Example: The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog✅ Pangram (all 26 letters present)

A pangram is a sentence that uses every letter of the alphabet at least once. The most famous English pangram is "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" — used in font rendering, typewriter testing, calligraphy practice, and keyboard demos for over 150 years.

Paste any sentence, and the tool tells you yes/no plus exactly which letters are missing. Useful for puzzle creators, font designers, typing-test authors, and word-game enthusiasts.

Use cases

Typography and font preview

Font foundries need pangrams to display every letter of a typeface in marketing pages. Compose your own and verify it's complete before publishing.

Calligraphy and handwriting practice

A pangram is the most efficient way to practice every letter. Build your own around a theme you'll actually want to write.

Word-puzzle creation

Crossword, Scrabble, and Bananagrams puzzle designers use pangrams to ensure every letter is reachable. Verify your puzzle covers the alphabet before publishing.

Typing-test sample text

Every letter must appear or typing speed scores can favor users with luckier keyboards. Verify before adding to a test pool.

Constrained-writing exercises

Try writing the shortest possible meaningful pangram. Famous attempts: "Pack my box with five dozen liquor jugs" (32), "How vexingly quick daft zebras jump" (29).

Frequently asked questions

What's the shortest possible English pangram?

Without proper nouns: "Mr. Jock, TV quiz PhD, bags few lynx" (26 letters, every letter exactly once — called a "perfect pangram"). Among readable sentences, "How vexingly quick daft zebras jump" (29 chars) is one of the shortest.

Does it count repeated letters?

No — it only checks whether each letter A–Z appears at least once. It does not require letters to be unique.

Are accented characters counted?

No — only A–Z (the unaccented English alphabet). Diacritics (é, ñ, ö) are ignored.

What about other languages?

This tool checks the 26-letter English alphabet only. Other languages have different alphabets (Spanish 27, French 26 + diacritics, Russian 33).
