Drumroll, please...
- GRAVITY
- ARRIVAL
- DUNE
- ALIEN
- MEGALOPOLIS
...and the spangram was HYBRIDCREATURE.
Hi Strands fans. A nice and easy one today. "Out of this world" - to me at least - is only going to be about either astronomy or science fiction.
The matter of which was settled immediately. I saw the spangram of SCIENCEFICTION spelt from the middle of the left-hand side, all the way up to the top-right corner.
That cordoned off two words in the top-left segment: GRAVITY and ARRIVAL. From those, it was clear we were talking specifically about sci-fi movies.
I then saw DUNE on the right-hand side, followed by ALIEN below it. That just left MEGALOPOLIS on the left-hand side to complete the puzzle.
