The sentence βthe quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dogβ uses all the letters of the alphabet in the English language.

This sentence is often used as a pangram in English. A pangram is a phrase that includes every letter of the alphabet at least once. The purpose of this is to showcase fonts or test typewriters and keyboards. The phrase specifically emphasizes how all 26 letters can be found in a single, coherent sentence.

The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog has become a common tool for typists and graphic designers.

Moreover, it helps typists practice their speed and accuracy.
