Round and Round
by Kegler
RAYS travel outward. RINGS travel counterclockwise. RINGS include nine unclued entries, which form a set.
The clue letters are for convenience only; clues are listed by length in alphabetical order of their answers,
with no starting letter repeated within a given length and direction (this includes the unclued entries).
The solver must determine the positions within the diagram.
