A variation on this I’ve seen is All King Edward’s Horses Can Make Big Foals.
All King Victor Edwards Horses Can Make Really Big Purple Fences
The ones down the centre line are X, the ones “near K”, “near E”, etc, also known as “WHERE am I going???” :lol:

I was always taught All King Edward’s Horses Carry Many Bloody Fools. RSVP really is the best way for me to remember the intermediate letters, and for the centerline, I created the following for my students:

She used to try to get me to tell her letter by letter, but gave up a long time ago.
A Fat Bay Mare Can Hardly Ever Kick
This is how I remember it since I have a fat bay mare who can’t kick because she is too old now!
