Worn at funerals and clubs for example (5,4)
I believe the answer is:
black suit
'worn at funerals' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.
'clubs for example' is the wordplay.
'clubs' becomes 'suit' (clubs is an example of a card suit).
'for' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other) (I've seen this in other clues).
'example' becomes 'black' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'suit' after 'black' is 'BLACK SUIT'.
'and' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Guardian and The Globe and Mail.
