An alphabetic sentence is one in which the words start with the letters of the alphabet, in order. To follow the rules of this game, your sentence must be twenty-six words long, be grammatical, and make sense. Here are a couple of examples:
Any bold, clever, daring explorer faces great hurdles, including jealous kings, lying mariners, native occupants, pusillanimous queens, really sneaky tyrants, usually vying with xenophobic young zealots.
A boisterous clown does every foolish game: hurling icicles, juggling kaleidoscopes, laughing maniacally, neglecting old pants, quickly revealing sparkling tight underwear, vamping while x-raying your zebra.
Dmitri Borgmann offers more examples in his book Language on Vacation, including a doubled variation:
Artistically assembled, bagpipes blow, creating cacophony; drums deliver, echoes ensuing; flutes follow, generating gentleness; harmonicas help, in instances; jew’s-harps join, keeping kosher; lutes lightly make music noteworthy; now, oboes outclassed, piccolos peep quite quickly; rebecs reply so softly; the tuba, used untiringly, varies vastly while, with xyloid xylophones, yammers ye zesty zither.
