Spoiler-Free Hints:
- Hint 1: All eight words share a common prefix.
- Hint 2: All items begin with the same four-letter word.
- Hint 3: The four-letter word is a term for a woman.
Partial Spoilers (One Word Each):
- Spoiler 1: The word "Marmalade" is included.
- Spoiler 2: The word "Bunny" is included.
Complete Solution:
The theme is "Ladies," as each word is a common term preceded by "Lady" (e.g., Lady Marmalade, Lady Bunny). The seven themed words are: Marmalade, Bunny, Liberty, Finger, Slipper, Bird, and Gaga.
Explanation:
The clue "Front Women" refers to the placement of the word "Lady" (or a similar term for a woman) at the beginning of each themed word. Solving the puzzle requires identifying this prefix and then finding words that logically follow it to create common phrases.
