Reintroducing The New Yorker’s Cryptic Crossword

A Starter Pack for the Cryptic Crossword Curious (new yorker)
Steve Mossberg’s Quiptics
These each have a single wordplay type per puzzle:

Today's Clue:

Broadcasting color makes you wary (5)

an extra hint

It would have been legit for me to write the clue this way:

Broadcasting fruit makes you wary (5)

clue-type (spoiler)

Homophone

definition / wordplay separation (spoiler)

Wary = definition

full parse / solution (spoiler)

Broadcasting = Homophone indicator

Color = CHERRY

Cherry homophone = Chary

[Homophone of CHERRY] makes you [CHARY]

In case it’s too hard (cause to be honest I’d never heard this word until it popped up on a certain app today), there’s an extra hint above the clue-type that will give you another clue.
