I built this over the weekend -- you guess the computer evaluation (aka who is winning and by how much) - closest score wins. Can you make it onto the daily leaderboard?

Okay. Iteration is key! I'll update her maybe tonight. Thanks

Re:Panning for Pangrams: The Search for the New Quick Brown Fox on Monday July 06, 2015 @11:33AM (#9839816)

Yeah that tweet was a let down. I guess the best resolution is that pangrams (or things with many unique letters) are hard to come by?

Re:Panning for Pangrams: The Search for the New Quick Brown Fox on Monday July 06, 2015 @11:32AM (#9839809)

Interesting. The issue I was getting was that it would like tweets that were "@MyFriendWhoHasAUserNameLikeZXCVBNMQWERTYU hey". Should I just strip it of the word "@____"?

Re:Panning for Pangrams: The Search for the New Quick Brown Fox on Monday July 06, 2015 @11:31AM (#9839799)

hahah I should have thought of that!
