Leads to cooler art too
It’s easier to remember?
I mean, I’m not going to discount the cool factor of the alternative, but I already forget what it is. Meanwhile the quick brown fox has been stuck in my head for years after only hearing of it a couple of times at most.
Not me. I can never remember it. Sphinx of black quartz, judge my vow feels like a declaration a wizard would make with his dying breath. I don’t think I’ll forget it soon.

Because you’ve seen it repeatedly over years and years of time
Meanwhile the quick brown fox has been stuck in my head for years after only hearing of it a couple of times at most.
Either you never had to take typing, never had to change your font, or just weren’t very observant. I’ve seen that phrase hundreds of times over the decades. Hell, I remember having to type the stupid phrase repeatedly in typing class back in the day.
‘Sphinx of black quartz, judge my vow’ is much cooler and more memorable, just from one read.
I took typing in highschool. We did exercises about the letters and their placement in a QWERTY layout. “Quick ask Zoe, why stop X-rays, even dogs can’t…” Fucking lodged in my brain still, even over two decades later.
That’s right. I’ve been using computers since the early 90’s. I’m old. I predate this phrase being popular. It still only took a couple of times seeing it, for it to be permanently lodged in my brain, just like asking Zoe quickly.
qwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnm is my favorite word
“Jackdaws love my big sphinx of quartz.”
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)The hungry purple dinosaur ate the kind, zingy fox, the jabbering crab, and the mad whale and started vending and quacking.
One letter shorter (28) and you’ve got “Waltz, bad nymph, for quick jigs vex!” I prefer that to the 27 letter “Quick nymph bugs vex fjord waltz.”
And the only couple perfect pangrams listed are “Mr. Jock, TV quiz PhD, bags few lynx.” or “Cwm fjord-bank glyphs vext quiz” (which even given the obscure words seems like it’s missing an article before quiz).
You missed an S
It doesn’t have the same flow.

Jumps not jumped. You are missing an ‘s’ otherwise. I’m amazed how common this mistake is 😁
I’ve seen “The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog’s back” used to get the s in there.
Inefficient.
contains all the 27 letters of the english alphabet: a-z and ’
But where’s the love?
I use “grumpy wizards make a toxic brew for the jovial queen”.
The “a” is overused. As is the “e”.
I don’t like this one
Ok
I think I prefer “wizard makes” instead of “wizards make”
Or pluralize the brews
In France, we have “Portez ce vieux whisky au juge blond qui fume” (“Bring that old whiskey to the blond smoking judge”) and I find it really… french since we manage to put alcohol and tobacco in an alexandrine just to make a pangram.
It’s an imperfect one as it’s missing all the accented characters. Given the state of some fonts, you really want to test those, especially upper case ones.
whisky doing some heavy lifting. As it does…
erm, it’s “jumps” over the lazy dog, not “jumped”.
That makes more sense as the phrase posted on the original image is missing an S
To add some pedantry i also say “quick fox” & “lazy brown dog” as i associate foxes as being orange.
“Zażółć gęślą jaźń” uses all the diacritics in Polish and was used to test code pages.
“Yellow the goose self”?
I think my translator is hallucinating again
Edit: and if not, that’s a dope metalcore band name
How in touch are you with your gooseself?
You translator might be correct considering that in hungarian we have “Árvíztűrő tükörfúrógép”, meaning “Flood-proof mirror-drill-machine”
I don’t think the intention of that sentence was anything else than testing the letters and it wasn’t really supposed to have any serious meaning.

This post genuinely inspired me a year ago and now I use that sentence instead of the lazy dog one
Doesn’t it miss an f?
“of”
Facepalming hard…. Thanks…
Don’t be too hard on yourself. I’ve seen this post come up on Reddit many times over the years, and every time the comments are full of people who think various letters are missing.
