"*The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog*" is an English-language
pangram <https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pangram>—a phrase
<https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phrase> that contains all of the letters
of the alphabet <https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alphabet>. It is commonly
used for touch-typing practice. It is also used to test typewriters
<https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typewriter> and computer keyboards
<https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_keyboard>, show fonts
<https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Font>, and other applications involving
all of the letters in the English alphabet. Owing to its brevity and
coherence, it has become widely known.
