The answers to today's Strands, game #235, are PEPPER ANISE CINNAMON CLOVE 
CARDAMOM NUTMEG SPANGRAM: MASALACHAI My rating: Moderate My score: 1 hint 

I realize that this confession might get me kicked out of my home nation, the 
UK, but I have never drunk tea. Not a single cup has ever passed my lips  
which meant I was at an ever greater disadvantage today than some will be. 

Even setting aside my own drinking habits, this Strands puzzle is strangely 
specific. Why MASALACHAI? We've previously had one Strands game about coffee, 
with the likes of MOCHA and LATTE, but even though I don't drink that either 
I was at least able to make informed guesses based on just having lived in a 
world in which other people regularly do drink it. But the theme here isn't 
'types of tea'  with ginseng or green or breakfast or whatever  it's 
specifically the ingredients for masala chai. That may well be very popular, 
but if you don't drink it, you're a bit stuck. 

Fortunately I only needed one hint. I spotted PEPPER by accident, then asked 
Strands to give me a clue and got ANISE. Though I still had no idea what the 
spangram might be, I had a strong hunch that the other answers would be 
spices, so found the likes of CARDAMOM and NUTMEG by trial and error. That 
left the spangram, which revealed itself on the board to make up for my lack 
of knowledge in this subject.
