    Alright guys what you guys think is the shortest English sentence using all the letter of the alphabet?

    Remember a complete sentence in English must have a subject and predicate.

    Give it some guesses --

    btw it is not

    the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog

    if you gave up then check out

    "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog." This was the only sentence in my mind.

    Great info. Thanks for sharing.
