Tuesday's NYT Hints & Answers Unveiled

Today's NYT Strands puzzle (#310, January 7, 2025) presents a challenging word-finding task. The clue is "Front Women," and solvers must locate eight hidden words within the grid: a pangram and seven themed words. This guide offers hints, partial solutions, and the complete answer.

Hints (Spoiler-Free):

• Hint 1: The hidden 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 common term for a woman.

Partial Solutions (Spoilers):

• Spoiler 1: The word "Marmalade" is one of the hidden words.

• Spoiler 2: "Bunny" is another hidden word.

Complete Solution (Major Spoilers):

The theme is "Ladies." The seven themed words, each preceded by "Lady," are common phrases: Lady Marmalade, Lady Bunny, Lady Liberty, Lady Finger, Lady Slipper, Lady Bird, and Lady Gaga. The eighth word is the pangram.

Solution Explanation:

The clue "Front Women" works because each themed word uses "Lady" (a word for a woman) as a prefix.
