A sentence which contains all the letters of the alphabet is called a ‘pangram’. There are many pangrams; in fact, if you are in the mood, you can create one of your own. The most famous pangram is the following: “The quick brown fox jumps over the lady dog.”
I understand that in the old days when typists wished to check if all the keys were in working order, they invariably typed this sentence.
