Network

Answer:

WEB

Hint:

Think of what spiders craft or the interconnected structure that makes up the internet.

Explanation:

"Network" here hints at something that connects things together, like a spider’s web or the internet’s structure. The answer "WEB" fits because it’s a common term for a network—whether it’s the World Wide Web or a literal woven mesh. The clue plays on the double meaning of "web" as both a physical and digital network.
