Hinting:
"Grumpy wizards make toxic brew for the evil Queen and Jack" is hard to find online if you're just searching for it. If you tell them that the name of a sentence with every letter of the alphabet is a Pangram, "pangram wizard queen" is enough to get you there.- This shouldn't be necessary; QUICK BROWN FOX is the break-in, and from that alphabet, solvers should be able to piece together the GRUMPY WIZARDS pangram by superposition.
