Welcome, Cryptickers!
It’s time for the November variety cryptic, and I’ve tried to make it the easiest yet, in order to give folks something relaxing to print and solve in the next few days. It doesn’t have helpers like my quiptics, but I think this might be a decent breaking-in point for newer solvers interested in trying something different. 2022 is shaping up to be a big variety cryptic year for me (more on that soon), and this one was quite fun to make.
Thanks to Hayley Gold and Nate Cardin helping me get this one up to snuff!
Take care and enjoy the puzzle! I’ll return with a themed crossword next week.

Love this! The variety aspect probably helped more than hindered in terms of the solve which was very NICE

Looks like 31 has the wrong enumeration: it should be (6) not (5).
