Cryptic #44 "Welcome Back, Solvers" (Variety)

  PDF  -  puz  -  solution This month I'm sharing a variety cryptic that I made for the free puzzle table at the Midwest Crossword Tournament in Chicago, which took place earlier today. I worked as a volunteer at the tournament this year, having written a competition puzzle last year and entered as a contestant the year before that. It's a great event and I highly recommend it. I got to spend the day chatting with puzzle folks, reconnecting with some and meeting others for the first time, including cryptic setter Skaldskaparmal . The Rackenfracker  duo also worked the tournament and brought bonus puzzles, which I'm looking forward to digging into later. Enjoy! See you next month.
