Is there a sentence that contains all of the letters of the alphabet without repeating any letter twice? Thanks in advance.

There s a sentence which contains all the letters, but I doubt if there is one which doesn't repeat letters

Ok, doubling a letter is fine. I was just curious. Thanks abbie. And I apologize for creating two threads.

Hi raindrop
Another sentence with all the letters of the alphabet (with 6 repeating letters is)
" PACK MY BOX WITH FIVE DOZEN LIQUOR JUGS"

A sentence with all the letters of the alphabet is called a "Pangram" (from greek meaning all letters)

For years people have tried to come up with a perfect Pangram (just 26 letters) there are a couple below although they don't make much sense.

I thank you both for your Pangrams. I am just a little sad to one hasnt been perfectly created (that makes sense). But thanks anyway.

Hi raindrop,

Sorry - it should be "jumps", not "jumped" - that gives the missing 's'.Embarrassed [:$]
