> Erm, that doesn't work... The original poster said you could only use each letter once, and you used "the" twice (not to mention the fact that "e" shows up four times). I thought yours worked at first, but then I caught that... With that stipulation, can it be done? It would seem to me that you'd have a bit of a vowel shortage...

A shorter version is "The quick brown fox jumps over lazy dogs." But I guess it's like "Beam me up, Scotty," -- the quote got too famous to be remembered correctly. Either that or the person who originally thought it up didn't realize. My favorite is "Pack my box with five dozen liquor jugs," though, which is one letter shorter than the short version of the "fox" quote.
