Very clever!

By the way, does anyone buy "Fjord nymphs' XV beg quick waltz" as a pangram, or any of its ilk? If so, I'd like to claim this for the record:

Tod exclaims, "bwf poghv junkz qyrs!"

Which, incidentally, also means nothing.

Hey, you know they say about quotes: you can put whateverthehellyouwant in them.

So let's think of a meaningless but pronounce-able single megaword with all the letters (but re-using vowels, certainly) that's as short as possible. Yeah, *you* do it.

hhp

Typophiles weave dreams of quoins, kerning and juggling complex beziers.

Packing five dozen waxy liquor jugs? Must be a typophile.

re: critiques...nah, they're not worthy, they're not worthy! But there is a lot of Apollo 26 stuff coming soon.

But as hhp would say, "different thread!"

i couldn't get this one to work, but maybe someone can work with it more.

It's too bad that Jared started this thread. Now, when I hear a name, I think in pangrams.

They are fitting me for a straightjacket as I speak.


I went to Subway® for lunch and pitchman Jared (different Jared) was all over. So I looked at his name and said, Hey, he's a pangram All-Star.

I (X's glyph Q'd of Zen) jab Turk cwm "V".



For clarification, all of my "words" are found in a thorough dictionary.



X is a symbolic representation for Christ, glyph is a nonverbal sign, cwm is a word for valley, and "V" is symbol for victory



The question of the use of Q'd as an exponent may arise and the pagram may be changed to read,



I (X's glyph of Zen) jab, QD, Turk cwm "V", where QD is found in most dictionaries meaning "each day".
