Sentences like this are called pangrams. Apart from being ‘fun to know’, pangrams are widely used in practicing typewriting.  Don’t have a typewriter? Don’t worry, you can use them for sharpening your keyboard skills as well. :-) I have collected some pangrams which look like any other normal sentence.
