    What is the longest sentence in English without repeating any letters?

    Question #35564. Asked by repo1. (Jun 27 03 6:51 AM)


    Gnomon

    		People have devised sentences that contain each of the 26 letters without repeating any. They tend to rely on obscure and questionable words, though, to achieve this.

    One example is:

    Cwm fjordbank glyphs vext quiz.

    This is a contrived headline from a newspaper announcing that an expert is puzzled by strange symbols in a hollow next to a fjord.
