A panphone is the shortest story having all the sounds of a "phonabet" (my term for sounds of a language). To make this story below, I use the converter at truespel.com to convert text to phonemes, and then I use my auto-count Excel file to get the data below.
Here is the "Coats" story:
"We bought warm coats to avoid overexposure outside in harsh January weather. Coats framed with large hoods are a good choice for heads in the wind."
Below in ~truespel US accent which allows phonetic analysis
~~Wee baut worm koets tue uvvoid oevereksppoezher outsied in haarsh Janyueewairee wether. Koets fraemd withh laarj hoodz aar u good chois for hedz in thu wind.~~
