I never bothered to search other sentences, but after reading them I still prefer the brown fox. There's something about using simple words that makes it more satisfying than the others.
- "Pack my box with five dozen liquor jugs."
- "Jackdaws love my big sphinx of quartz."
- "How vexingly quick daft zebras jump!"
- "Bright vixens jump; dozy fowl quack."
- "Sphinx of black quartz, judge my vow."
- "Quick zephyrs blow, vexing daft Jim."
- "Two driven jocks help fax my big quiz."
- "Five quacking zephyrs jolt my wax bed."
- "The jay, pig, fox, zebra, and my wolves quack!"
