    I love pangrams! I even have a list of all my favorite ones:

    • Fix problem quickly with galvanized jets
    • Amazingly few discotheques provide jukeboxes
    • My girl wove six dozen plaid jackets before she quit
    • who packed five dozen old quart jugs in my box
    • Jim quickly realized the beautiful gowns are expensive
    • The wizard quickly jinxed the gnomes before they vaporized
    • the quick onyx goblin jumps over the lazy dwarf
    • a wizards job is to vex chimps quickly in fog
    • Heavy boxes perform waltzes and jigs
    • A very big box sailed up then whizzed quickly from Japan
    • Jack quietly moved up front and seized the big ball of wax
    • The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog
    • A quick movement of the enemy will jeopardize six gunboats
    • Pack my box with five dozen liquor jugs
    • Grumpy wizards make a toxic brew for the jovial queen

      Fix problem quickly with galvanized jets

      Even with all the D&D examples, only this approaches the dork-ass energy of “sphinx of black quartz, judge my vow.” These are the ones that deserve typing into a 1980s computer to check out the hardcoded font.

        Cwm is a Welsh word describing a kind of circular valley head created through glacial erosion; a fjord is a long, deep and narrow sea inlet (which Norway is famous for); glyphs means symbols; vext is an archaeic spelling of vexed, which means annoyed (here as in past tense) and quiz is used in the sense of an eccentric person.

        Thus, the sentence can be rewritten as: the symbols on the inlet’s banks at the valley head annoyed the eccentric person.

    Designers use these sometimes when designing, modifying, or setting type. I always use the sphinx one bc it’s metal.
