Variety of liquorice (8)
I believe the answer is:
allsorts
'liquorice' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.
'variety' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'variety' could be 'sort' (synonyms) and 'sort' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'alls' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'of' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for allsorts that I've seen is " mixture of sweets is required".)
