    Thanks for the pangrams. One problem I have with pangrams is that for demonstrating cursive writing, you also have to take into consideration how the letters join up. The letters would have a slightly different shape depending on the letters adjacent to them. In a way, it’s like the Arabic script.

      There’s probably pan… ligature-grams. Some hideous paragraph that concisely demonstrates every valid pair. Ballpark, every letter has to appear once with a different letter after it, so an example would be on the order of one thousand characters.

      That feels alarmingly like a programming puzzle for this late at night.

        Yeah, it is. I’m kinda glad it’s in the middle of the day here where I live. I wouldn’t want to be up at night teasing this horrible, horrible combinatorics puzzle in bed.
