SECTION SIX 25
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 outer 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, but their starting points and direction are for you to determine. The sections (separated by the heavy lines radiating from the center) will help you place 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.

Arrange the letters in the six starred spaces to form the final answer, a 6-letter word.
Ring 1
1 A type of handgun
2 Entities
3 Conceited
4 Wild marjoram
5 Acorn-obsessed Ice Age character
6 The five-finger one is illegal

Ring 2

WORDY WEDNESDAY #246
SECTION SIX 24
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 outer 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, but their starting points and direction are for you to determine. The sections (separated by the heavy lines radiating from the center) will help you place 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.

Arrange the letters in the six starred spaces to form the final answer, a 6-letter word.
Ring 1
1 Signed the back of, as a check
2 Adjoin
3 Alaska city named after a U.S. Secretary of State
4 Former Fleetwood Mac member Buckingham
5 Mythological figure slain by Artemis
6 Unborn human being

Ring 2
* Put off
* Like some servants
* "But seriously, ____. . ."
* Term for a socially inept person derived from If I Ran the Zoo
* President Woodrow

Ring 3
* Like a pug
* Wheel of ____
* Part of KFC
* Dispatch

Ring 4
* Purge a Facebook relationship
* Potable
* Wear away, as water forming a canyon

Ring 5
* Mercury of Queen
* Danish monetary unit
