Is it possible to conduct a search for verses that are a pangram (verses containing all the letters of the alphabet) in Greek or Hebrew from within Logos?
Hi Stephen - and welcome to the forums
It is technically possible but I don't believe it is feasible!
To search for single letters you would need to specify letter* - so you would have something like δ* which would find all verses containing the letter δ
You could then combine multiple terms to find verses containing all the terms. See reduced example below:
You could construct a search containing all of the letters and that would give you what you are looking for.
The problem is that wildcard searches are very computer-intensive - the example above in just one chapter for two terms took 30 seconds to complete. I don't know how long the complete search would take.
Someone else may have a better idea but that is all I can think of

Agree!
To search for single letters you would need to specify letter*
That will find words beginning with that letter, but you have to specify *letter* to find all words that contain that letter e.g. *a* to get "said", "that" as well as "Abram". And that takes 7x longer than a* in Gen 12:1.
A text file and script is seconds of processing. Granted, the question is 'in Logos'.
If you have a very fast way to do this outside of Logos, could you provide a passage list of such verses to help out the OP?

My guess is the good professor (a guess) wants it for his students.
