Net

Answer:

WEB

Hint:

Think of what a spider crafts to catch its prey or how interconnected pages form the foundation of the internet.

Explanation:

"Net" is a straightforward clue where the answer is a simple synonym. In this case, "web" means the same thing—a mesh of threads, like a spider’s web or a fishing net. The clue doesn’t rely on wordplay or tricks; it’s just testing your knowledge of common words for the same idea. Think of how both terms describe something that catches or connects.
