Spoiler-Free Hints:
- Hint 1: The 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: Marmalade
- Spoiler 2: Bunny
Complete Solution:
The theme is "Ladies," with the words preceded by "Lady." The eight words are: Marmalade, Bunny, Liberty, Finger, Slipper, Bird, Gaga.
Solution Explanation:
The clue "Front Women" refers to the fact that each themed word ("Marmalade," "Bunny," etc.) could be preceded by "Lady" to form common phrases (e.g., "Lady Marmalade," "Lady Bunny"). The "woman" part of the clue is at the beginning of each phrase.
