# --description--

- Ignore non-alphabetical characters in the word or sentence.
- Ignore letter casing in the word or sentence.

# --hints--

`is_pangram("hello", "helo")` should return `True`

```js
({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertTrue(is_pangram("hello", "helo"))`)
}})
```

`is_pangram("hello", "hel")` should return `False`

```js
({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertFalse(is_pangram("hello", "hel"))`)
}})
```

`is_pangram("hello", "helow")` should return `False`

```js
({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertFalse(is_pangram("hello", "helow"))`)
}})
```

`is_pangram("hello world", "helowrd")` should return `True`

```js
({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertTrue(is_pangram("hello world", "helowrd"))`)
}})
```

`is_pangram("Hello World!", "helowrd")` should return `True`

```js
({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertTrue(is_pangram("Hello World!", "helowrd"))`)
}})
```

`is_pangram("Hello World!", "heliowrd")` should return `False`

```js
({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertFalse(is_pangram("Hello World!", "heliowrd"))`)
}})
```

`is_pangram("freeCodeCamp", "frcdmp")` should return `False`

```js
({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertFalse(is_pangram("freeCodeCamp", "frcdmp"))`)
}})
```

`is_pangram("The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.", "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz")` should return `True`

```js
({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertTrue(is_pangram("The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.", "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"))`)
}})
```
