Normally, Aladdin and the version of A whole new world played by the late great Peabo Bryson dominated my first thoughts when tackling today’s puzzle.
However, instead of “a magic carpet ride,” our search focused on MINECRAFT’s created worlds, something I learned after spotting the spangram immediately.
From here it was a matter of trying to remember all the terminology related to the game, almost all of which I have forgotten after a brief interest courtesy of two obsessed with-minecraft nephews; FOOD was my first place, of course.
