Do a Pangram and you will have all the letters

I was working on the type project and I was trying to see how many letters do I need to create for my idea, and I found “The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog”, if you’ve ever wondered what it’s? is a pangram that has been used to test typewriters and computer keyboards.
It was chosen because it’s coherent, short, and contains all the letters of the English alphabet. Here are some others:
How quickly daft jumping zebras vex. (30 letters)
Two driven jocks help fax my big quiz. (30 letters)
Quick Baz, get my woven flax jodhpurs. (30 letters)
Bright vixens jump; dozy fowl quack. (29 letters)
Quick wafting zephyrs vex bold Jim. (29 letters)
Quick zephyrs blow, vexing daft Jim. (29 letters)
Sphinx of black quartz, judge my vow. (29 letters)
Sex-charged fop blew my junk TV quiz (29 letters)
Junk MTV quiz graced by fox whelps (28 letters)
Bawds jog, flick quartz, vex nymphs. (28 letters)
Waltz, bad nymph, for quick jigs vex. (28 letters)
Fox nymphs grab quick jived waltz. (28 letters)
Brick quiz whangs jumpy veldt fox. (28 letters)
DJs flock by when MTV ax quiz prog. (27 letters)
