I am a bit… baffled by this. Even after solving it I’m not entirely sure what the theme here is. I think it’s words that go after party – which works for some of them, like ANIMAL, CRASHER and *******. But I have no idea what a PARTY FOUL or PARTY HEARTY is. Literally zero idea. But maybe I’m just not a party person. In fact, I know I’m not.

I was so nonplussed by what was going on that I found the first two words on the list entirely by accident, used hints for the next two, then found all of the rest by default based on the way the letters fell. Unsatisfying – and it’s made me even less likely to want to go to a party now.
