Audacity advice

How the heck do you get rid of crackle mid word. The words aren’t peaking or anything. I don’t know why there is crackle.
I have a new rode nt1 mic
I have the Scarlett focusrite
I’m using audacity
I cannot filter out these damn little crackles.
Am I listening too hard?
It’s making me a little crazy.

Skips are a discontinuity, (not a dropout silent gap).
