Because you don't really use/see sphinx or quartz much in daily life. Much better to use a sentence that's easier to write

Pangrams! My goto has been

I've never seen a fox in daily life either. Might as well be the same as a sphinx if that's the bar.

Jumps not jumped. You are missing an 's' otherwise. I'm amazed how common this mistake is

It's true, your experience is entirely representative of everyone else.

See them as a writen word.
There are no "hard" words in the fox sentence. While some people might struggle with writing sphinx or quartz.

I never claimed it was. But I'd bet there are tens of millions of people that have never seen a fox in real life, not even in regular daily life. Even if they live in a region where foxes do live, daily urban life isn't exactly conducive them.

In Sweden we use this weird old sentence:
"Flygande bäckasiner söka hwila på mjuka tuvor",
It doesn't even contian all letters, so you have to add "QXZ" to the end to complete the test....

Can you devise a superior sentence? (Don’t have to if you don’t want to)

In France, we have "Portez ce vieux whisky au juge blond qui fume" ("Bring that old whiskey to the blond smoking judge") and I find it really... french since we manage to put alcohol and tobacco in an alexandrine just to make a pangram.

Daily urban life is very conducive to them, they scavenge bins around my area all the time.

Wait, have you seen a sphinx? That's cool!

Sphinx coolness is not enough face to face with two cute animals in one sentence.

I don't need to, there were several alternatives on Wikipedia:
- Yxmördaren Julia Blomqvist på fäktning i Schweiz
- Schweiz för lyxfjäder på qvist bakom ugn
- FAQ om Schweiz: Klöv du trång pjäxby? - this is an incomprehensible sentence, though it must be said, it does sound Swedish when spoken.
- Yxskaftbud, ge vår WC-zonmö IQ-hjälp - this is also incomprehensible, plus the first word seems to be misspelled, it should be "Yxskaftsbud", the missing s makes it hard to pronounce
- Gud hjälpe Zorns mö qwickt få byx av - a sentence with old spellings and words, and rather naughty meaning, this sentence also misses the letter V, in the past when w and v could be used interchangeably it would be a proper pangram.
- Byxfjärmat föl gick på duvshowen - misses Q and Z, but has the combinations fj and fö, which is very useful to test fonts for Swedish compabillity.
- Tjock ges BMW på quiz, hänförd av lyx - one of the best pangrams here, it contains every letter and, even better, is perfectly logical.

"Zażółć gęślą jaźń" uses all the diacritics in Polish and was used to test code pages.

I've seen "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog's back" used to get the s in there.
-
This post genuinely inspired me a year ago and now I use that sentence instead of the lazy dog one
Doesn’t it miss an f?

i think it's more about being words that kids will know.

this whole exercise is really meant to exist in schools. like, schools for young kids.
we're adults arguing about which nursery rhyme is cooler while forgetting that this isn't for us. it needs to be easily understood by children. that's why we use one with only short easy words.
even the sentence structure of the second one is complicated and hard for a child to remember.
