I’m not a coffee drinker, but even I know enough about the ubiquitous beverage to be able to solve today’s Strands in no time. The thematic clue helped, as did the fact that LATTE was prominently displayed along one side of the board. With those two clues in my arsenal, I was clear about what I needed to do here and found the answers easily. Well, almost. Once again, the spangram turned out a bit more… obscure. COFFEEORDER? Really? Not exactly a common phrase, is it? But anyway, I found it too and solved this Strands in a couple of minutes.
