This One Makes No Sense
What is so unusual about the sentence below? (Other than it doesn't make any sense?)
Impressive. I was surprised to see how quickly you figured out the answer. I believe it's the shortest possible sentence that uses all the letters in the alphabet.
And I'll stick with that until someone produces a shorter one.
Hey this sentence is used by computers to make a font. So e.g. "Times New Roman" has this phrase behind it with all the numbers from 0 to 9 following (Jackdaws love my big sphinx of quartz 0123456789). Below this sentence bigger letters are writen, and then bigger, and so on. So fonts work thanks to this phrase (even though it makes no sense!!!)

ReplyDeleteIt has all the letters of the alphabet
ReplyDeleteAll the letters of the alphabet are in this sentence... plus any one of the words would be worth quite a few points in Scrabble if played properly. :D
ReplyDeletewell, i see im a little late on this but yeah, it has all the letters of the alphabet.(:
ReplyDeleteall letters, but the odd thing is 'a' and 's' are in it more than once each. All other letters are only represented once.
ReplyDeleteIs Jackdaws even a real word? Hmmmmm ... Oh look it has all the letters of the alphabet!!! Imagine that!!!!
