๐ค Pangram Checker
Check whether your input text contains every letter of the alphabet from A to Z (i.e., whether itโs a pangram). If any letters are missing, theyโre listed too.
How to use
- Enter the text you want to check.
- Whether itโs a pangram, how many distinct letters are used, and which letters are missing are shown automatically.
How the calculation works
This tool checks whether your text contains all 26 letters of the English alphabet (aโz) at least once. It converts the text to lower case, removes everything that is not aโz (digits, symbols, spaces, Japanese and so on), and builds the set of letters that remain. Any of the 26 letters not in the set are listed as missing, and the number of distinct letters used (up to 26) is shown. A letter counts once however many times it appears, so the result depends on whether every letter is present, not on how long the text is.
Worked example
Input: The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog Result: Pangram (26/26 letters) Input: Pack my box with five dozen liquor jugs. Result: Pangram (all 26 letters in a 32-letter sentence) Input: Hello World Result: Not a pangram (7/26 letters) Missing: a b c f g i j k m n p q s t u v x y z
Things to be aware of
- Accented letters such as รฉ and รผ are separate characters and do not count toward aโz.
- Sentences that use every kana, such as the Japanese Iroha poem, are not checked.
- Font specimens often use pangrams because they show every letter shape at once.
