PUZZLE #547
SECTION SIX 11
This puzzle (suggested by Patron Grant Fikes) contains a word or phrase suggested by Patron M. Sean Molley. Support me on Patreon at $15 or more per month to suggest one word or phrase for me to put into a puzzle every month!
This puzzle's grid has six rings and six sections. Each ring contains a series of words placed end to end, reading either clockwise OR counterclockwise; all the words in a given ring will read in the same direction. Ring 1 (the outermost ring) contains six answers that read clockwise; the starting spaces are numbered in the grid. Clues for the answers in the
remaining rings are given in order, and each answer’s starting points are marked
with a dot [•]. However, which direction they proceed in is for you to figure out.
The sections (separated by the heavy lines radiating from the center) will help you
figure out the letters in the inner rings: in a given section, each ring segment contains
all but one of the letters in the next segment outward. In other words, a
section's outermost segment contains six letters; the next segment inward contains
five of those six letters in some order; and so on, until only one of the original six letters remains.
Once you're done, unscramble the six spaces with stars in them to get the FINAL ANSWER: a six-letter word.
