Check if a sentence is a pangram

A pangram uses every letter at least once. Defaults to Latin a-z but supports custom alphabets.

How to check pangrams

Counts how many letters of the alphabet appear in the input. Custom alphabets supported for other scripts.

  1. 01

    Type sentence

    Any text — the classic 'The quick brown fox' uses 35 letters.

    Tokenisation is Unicode-aware via \p{L}\p{N} property classes — so accented letters, ideographs, and emoji code points all count correctly.

    Pick alphabet

    Default a-z. Customize for other languages (e.g. add ä ö ü for German).

    Live re-counts run on every keystroke through a memoised reducer, so even multi-megabyte inputs stay smooth in the editor.

    Coverage grid

    Each letter shows green (present) or red (missing). Missing letters listed below.

    Output preserves the original line endings (\n vs \r\n) and trailing whitespace is reported separately so you can spot diff-only changes.

Pro tips

Text-processing fundamentals worth knowing

Tokenise with Unicode classes

Use \p{L}\p{N} with the u flag so accents, ideographs, and emoji count properly.

Normalise line endings

Convert \r\n to \n before diffing or hashing — Windows-vs-Unix endings produce phantom changes.

Mind invisible characters

Zero-width joiners, BOMs, and non-breaking spaces look identical to ASCII space. Strip them before comparison or storage.

Stream don’t slurp

For multi-megabyte text, iterate line-by-line rather than loading everything to memory — keeps the tab responsive.

Choose collation deliberately

Default JS sort is code-point order, not human alphabetical. Use Intl.Collator for locale-aware sorting.

Re-run after normalisation

NFC vs NFD changes byte length but not visible glyphs. String.prototype.normalize() before counts and comparisons.

Use Cases

When to check pangrams

Font/typeface testing, puzzles, learning.

Font preview

Show every letter of a custom font. Tokenisation uses Unicode property classes (\p{L}, \p{N}) with the u flag so accents, ideographs, and emoji code points all count correctly. Surrogate-pair-aware counts mean 🚀 weighs 1, not 2.

Unicode-correct

Keyboard test

Verify all keys work on a typewriter / keyboard. Result updates as you type — paste and watch totals settle in milliseconds even on multi-megabyte inputs. Heavy work runs through a memoised reducer so the editor never janks.

diff-clean

Children's games

Construct sentences that use all letters. Output normalises line endings to LF for clean diffs across platforms. Windows-vs-Unix CRLF mismatches disappear, which keeps git blame honest and review comments focused on real changes.

instant counts

Typing tests

Verify a test paragraph covers all letters. Code-point counts are stable across NFC/NFD normalisation. Pair with the Reading Time Calculator to layer scan-time on top of raw counts, useful for editorial budgets and SEO meta-description limits.

platform-aware

Calligraphy practice

Cover every letter in one practice piece. All processing runs client-side — paste sensitive or pre-publish copy without it leaving the tab. The clipboard API writes UTF-8 text/plain so it survives transit to any editor or CMS.

code-point-accurate

Cipher tests

Test that a cipher works on all letters. Same input plus same options always produces identical output, so the tool is safe to embed in CI scripts or doc-generation pipelines without race conditions.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

'The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog' (43 chars). 'Pack my box with five dozen liquor jugs' (32 chars).
Uses every letter exactly once. Very rare — e.g. 'Mr Jock TV quiz PhD bags few lynx'.
Yes — paste your alphabet (e.g. include German ß, ä, ö, ü).
No. All processing runs locally.
No — both input and alphabet are lowercased for comparison.
