The phrase typing file was something I threw together ad-hoc when
re-doing the phrases activity last fall.  The first two sentences
include all 26 letters, and the rest (The Raven and Hamlet) were what
came to mind, both being safely in the public domain.

That's a good idea.

I think it should be a fairly high priority to give users (really
teachers or parents) an easy way to create or modify phrase and word
lists.
