Typically, Aladdin and the version of A Whole New World performed by the late, great Peabo Bryson dominated my first thoughts when tackling today’s puzzle.
However, instead of a “a magic carpet ride” our search was focused on the created worlds of MINECRAFT, something I learned after spotting the spangram immediately.
From here it was a case of trying to remember all of the terminology connected with the game, nearly all of which I’ve forgotten after a brief interest courtesy of two obsessed-with-Minecraft nephews; FOOD was my first spot, of course.

“That’s included!” That must mean batteries, surely? After all, not having batteries included in something you’ve just purchased is really annoying and a consumer crisis that needs highlighting.
Instead, after getting SAFE and INTERNET, I decided it was things (or HOTEL AMENITIES, as the spangram puts it) included in your hotel bill — or more often not included in your hotel bill unless you’d like to pay extra.
The most terrifying “free thing” in a hotel room is, of course, the mini bar — an amenity that can lead to financial ruin and that is definitely never “included”.
