Today's NYT Strands puzzle (#310, January 7, 2025) presents a challenging word search with the clue "Front Women." Eight words need to be found: seven themed words and a pangram. This guide offers hints, partial solutions, and the complete answer.
Spoiler-Free Hints:
- Hint 1: The solution words share a common prefix.
- Hint 2: All eight words begin with the same four-letter sequence.
- Hint 3: This four-letter sequence is a term for a woman.
Partial Spoilers (One Word Each):
- Spoiler 1: One of the words is "Marmalade."
- Spoiler 2: Another word is "Bunny."
Complete Solution:
The theme is "Ladies." Each of the seven themed words is a common term that follows "Lady" to form a familiar phrase (e.g., Lady Marmalade). The eight words are: Marmalade, Bunny, Liberty, Finger, Slipper, Bird, Gaga, and the pangram.
Solution Explanation:
The clue "Front Women" works because "Lady" (a word for a woman) precedes each themed word.
