And an I please. Which there are hopefully 2.

(thinking of the variant: If we guessed a letter that was used more than once in the panagram, you should have taken away another random letter.... or is that too cruel?)

Hmm. After much head scratching, I'm guessing that word is Liquor (not that that helps me with the panagram), so...

O please?

LazyScot · 02-04-2013, 11:25 AM

Hmm.....

.... box/cox/pox "with five dozen liquor" ....? (i'd guess that's enough for google....)

Lets try another rarer letter...

J please.

Hmmm.

so we (probably) have .. "with five dozen liquor jugs", which means we need to put the letters (and possible others) b,c,d,k,p into the first bit. I think only "ck" can follow the a in the first word, so we have:

pack/hack/rack/back my pox/cox/box with five dozen liquor jugs.

Nearest to sensible english would be:

"Pack my box with five dozen liquor jugs."

Yes! That's what I wanted to hear. It may not be the shortest pangram, but I like it.

Over to you, LazyScot.

Thanks -- not sure how safe my logic was, but still.

Apologies for delayed responses whilst I'm on my way home...
