Pangram

Definition

A pangram is a sentence containing all 26 letters, like 'The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.' While not a Wordle move, pangrams illustrate letter coverage — the same principle behind broad openers.

Why it matters

The pangram mindset — maximising letter coverage — mirrors the goal of an information-rich opener.

Examples

  • 'Pack my box with five dozen liquor jugs.'
  • 'The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.'

Best practices

  • Think of your first two guesses as covering as many letters as a pangram does.
