Cryptics 101: Container

This is the fifth of a series of small puzzles meant to introduce the conventions of cryptic crosswords to the uninitiated. It introduces and uses only a single clue type: the container clue.  (You can see the instructions again by clicking the "Info" button at the top right.) [ fullscreen ]

Theme-less

Thought I'd try my hand at a theme-less puzzle today! Big thanks to Steve Mossberg for the invaluable test solve, feedback, and general encouragement and good vibes! UPDATE: Oops I forgot enumerations; fixed. Instructions: Most of my puzzles have some kind of theme. For this one, I decided to make do with less-yet it seems I’ve subtracted something. Hopefully this puzzle (minus theme) doesn’t lead to a negative experience!
