Pangram Checker

Check if your text uses every letter A–Z.

Start typing to check for a pangram
A pangram uses every letter of the alphabet at least once.

This pangram checker tells you whether your text uses every letter of the alphabet at least once, and highlights exactly which letters are still missing as you type. It is the quick way to test whether a sentence qualifies as a pangram.

How to use the pangram checker

  1. Type or paste your sentence.
  2. The A–Z tracker fills in each letter you have used.
  3. Any missing letters are listed, so you know what to add to complete the pangram.

What is a pangram?

A pangram is a sentence that contains all 26 letters of the English alphabet. The best-known example is “The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.” Pangrams are used by designers to preview every letter of a font, and by typists to test a keyboard, because a single sentence exercises the whole alphabet.

Writing your own pangram

The challenge is fitting the rare letters — j, q, x and z — into something that still reads as a sentence. Start a draft, watch which letters stay unlit in the tracker, and work those in. Aiming for a shorter pangram makes it much harder; the fewer letters you waste on repeats, the closer you get to a “perfect” one.

Frequently asked questions

What is a perfect pangram?

A perfect pangram uses each of the 26 letters exactly once. They are very rare and usually rely on abbreviations, names or unusual words.

Are numbers and punctuation counted?

No. Only the 26 letters A–Z are tracked; digits, spaces and punctuation are ignored.

Is it case-sensitive?

No. Upper- and lowercase letters count the same, so “A” and “a” both light up the letter A.
