Pangram Checker

Paste a sentence to check whether it uses all 26 letters.

How it is calculated

The tool lowercases your text and goes through it one character at a time, marking each plain letter from a to z the first time it appears. It then reports letters used = number of distinct letters found out of 26, and lists every letter that was never marked. The text is a pangram only when all 26 are present. Capitalisation, spaces, digits and punctuation make no difference. Only the 26 unaccented English letters are counted: an accented or non-English letter such as é, ç, ş, ğ or ö is ignored and does not stand in for e, c, s, g or o. Repeats do not add to the count. Empty or blank text gives no result.

Worked example

Take the sentence "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy cat", which is the classic pangram with the last word changed. Scanning it finds every letter except d and g, because "dog" was replaced by "cat". That makes 24 distinct letters used, shown as 24 / 26. Two letters are missing, namely d and g, so the pangram answer is No and the text is not a pangram. Changing "cat" back to "dog" would bring it to 26 / 26.

Common mistakes

  • Expecting accented letters to count. Typing "café" credits only c, a and f; the é is skipped and e is not marked, so a French or Turkish pangram can be reported as incomplete.
  • Checking a Turkish, German or other pangram against the 26-letter test. It covers only a to z, so it cannot confirm a pangram for an alphabet with extra letters such as ç, ş, ğ, ä or ß.
  • Confusing letters used with total letters. The number counts distinct letters, so a long text can still show 18 / 26.
  • Counting digits or punctuation as coverage. They are ignored, so "1234567890" scores 0 / 26.
  • Assuming a perfect pangram must be short. Any length is fine; the shorter ones are simply harder to write.

About this calculator

A pangram is a sentence that uses every letter of the alphabet at least once — the classic English example is "The quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog," which packs all 26 letters into just 33 letters. This tool scans your text, tracks which of the 26 letters have appeared (case-insensitively), and reports both whether it's a full pangram and exactly which letters are missing if it isn't.

Font and type designers use pangrams as specimen text because a single short sentence lets them preview every letterform's shape, spacing and kerning at once. Typing teachers and puzzle writers use them for practice drills and word games, while QA testers use pangrams to quickly check that a font, encoding or rendering pipeline displays the full alphabet correctly.

    Because only the letters a to z are counted, a pangram in another alphabet cannot pass, and the missing list can look surprising. The Turkish sentence Pijamali hasta yagiz sofore cabucak guvendi typed with its Turkish letters shows 23 / 26 and lists q, w and x as missing, since Turkish does not use them.
