# Pangram Checker Check if text is a pangram (contains every letter of the alphabet). Reports missing letters, used letters, and unique-letter count. > Canonical page: https://elysiatools.com/en/tools/pangram-checker - **Category:** Text Processing - **Keywords:** pangram, pangram checker, is pangram, perfect pangram, all letters, the quick brown fox ## Overview Check whether a sentence is a **pangram** — a sentence that contains every letter of the alphabet at least once. The most famous English pangram is `"The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog"`, used for font previews because it shows all 26 letters. **What this tool tells you:** - Whether the text is a **perfect pangram** (every letter present). - The **letters still missing** from the alphabet, if any. - The **letters actually used**, and a count. - How many **unique letters** appear, out of 26. **Case sensitivity:** - By default the check is **case-insensitive** (`A` and `a` count as the same letter), which is what you almost always want for pangram checking. - Turn **case sensitive** on to treat `A` and `a` as different symbols — useful only for niche alphabets or puzzles where capitalization matters. **Good to know:** - Only the 26 basic English letters (A–Z) are counted. Numbers, punctuation, and accented letters are ignored. - The result is plain English so it reads well in any context. The structured details (missing letters, used letters, counts) are in the metadata. ## Inputs - **Text** (textarea): Enter a sentence to check for pangram status... - **Case sensitive** (checkbox) ## When to use - When designing or testing fonts and you need to verify that a preview sentence contains all 26 letters of the English alphabet. - When creating or solving word puzzles, linguistic challenges, or keyboard testing strings that require complete alphabetical coverage. - When analyzing text samples to identify which specific letters are missing or to count unique character occurrences. ## How it works - Enter or paste your sentence into the text input field. - Choose whether to enable case sensitivity, which treats uppercase and lowercase letters as distinct characters. - The tool filters out numbers, punctuation, and accented characters, focusing only on the 26 basic English letters (A-Z). - The tool instantly displays whether the text is a pangram, lists any missing letters, and provides the count of unique letters used. ## Use cases - Verifying custom font preview strings to ensure designers can showcase every letter of the alphabet. - Creating educational worksheets or typing exercises that require students to practice typing every key. - Validating puzzle submissions or word game solutions that mandate the use of all 26 English letters. ## Frequently asked questions ### What is a pangram?
