Re: Vocabulary

I saw the words " isolated letters" while reading about pangrams.

Re: Vocabulary

What was the complete sentence in which you read them?

" In a perfect pangram isolated letters are not allowed. "

It means individual letters as letters of the alphabet.

The sentence in full context is saying that you cannot count such letters as words in a pangram. thus a, h, and q, for example as isolated letters do not count as words, but the article a and the abbreviation HQ are fine - they are not isolated letters.

" In a perfect pangram isolated letters are not allowed. "

You are still leaving a space after initial and before final quotation marks.

We've already told you, Paramah Sungelee, that pangrams with isolated letters don't count.

It sounds to me like you're trying to cheat in your goal to create the world's shortest pangram by trying to find a definition that can validate using isolated letters and made-up words. If you want to define your pangram in such a way that your efforts do count, then that's fair enough, but to be honest, no one's going to be very impressed if you do.

I'll tell you straight—you won't make a pangram with 26 letters. You won't make one with fewer than 30, either. Why don't you just focus on making any passible pangram instead? That will be just as fun, potentially achievable, and likely a more valuable learning experience for a non-native speaker like yourself.
