Quick Fox

Ever wondered “What is the shortest sentence in english that uses all the letters of the alphabet”? Perhaps.

Did you know that “ A Quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog”, although often cited, is not the shortest?

Could you train an AI to find a shorter sentence? Would anyone care? Pangram adventurers, start here!

I wrote a quick way to check what characters you’ve used in a sentence or other kind of string. It does seem to work with most european languages, but doesn’t appear to like emoji. Sorry.
