If you don't want to be caught in the spider's web, you will need to re-arrange the 4-letter answers to each clue on the left to form a 5-letter word ending with the letter "T". Place the 5-letter word in the spider's web at the corresponding number, reading inward. Each 5-letter word answers a clue in the righthand column.
For example, the answer to clue 1 is "real". By re-arranging its letters and adding a t, you form the word "alert" which is the answer to clue f. In the equation below, #1 would be given a value of 6 as the DR of f.
When completed, the outer ring of the web, reading from 1 to 18, will reveal a "punny" saying. Call the RAS of this saying M and its RDR N.
For the west coordinates, calculate the DRs of the letter (from a to r) of the answer corresponding to its number.
