All dressed down and nowhere to go.
Ā° OED
BACKCLOTH — HONOURS
I had never heard of BACKCLOTH before (I have always used BACKDROP) but it fit!
I found BACKTALK, TALKBACK, and HOLOCAUST but couldn’t connect.
HONOURS-SLOTBACK
Cheating a bit using that spelling as an American English speaker.
Also found SUNBURN(T), SUNBATH(S), BACKLOT(S), SUNBURST(S), TALKBACK, BACKRUB(S)
I didnāt get a 2 or even 3 word solve but was surprised they accepted COLOURS, which is the British spelling, and since they reject most of those for this game.
I used HONOURS, and also found LABOURS.
SUNBURSTS-SACKCLOTH
I found SUNBURST. Then I found SACKCLOTH and immediately went for BRUNTS-SACKCLOTH, but for some reason LB won’t take BRUNTS, plural of BRUNT, so feeling the brunt of LB’s rejection and seeing that SUNBURSTS fit the bill, I didn’t bother to hunt for a shorter, more efficient word to put before SACKCLOTH.
Subcrust + talkathon
SUBCRUST ā TALKATHON also.
