April 22, 2023 - JUNEAUITES and NADERITES and NIXIEs, oh, my!

Jean & Mike Do The New York Times Crossword

The only thing that was 46A -- A piece of cake, SOEASY -- about this puzzle was, well, 46A. The rest of the grid was crackling with fiendishly clever and often quite arcane clues, such as 61A, Dead letter in a mail sorter's vernacular, NIXIE (woah!); 39D, One with an "If You Choose the Lesser of Two Evils -- You Are Still Choosing Evil" bumper sticker, perhaps", NADERITE (both clever, obscure, and in the running for longest-clue of the week award); and the delicious 48D, Positive restaurant review?, YUM.
