Completely off, or is there any reusable thinking ?

Without telling too much I can assure you that the first two left sides are grouped correctly, but the meaning is wrong.

Oh yes, I would. It is just that I do not have it. :-O Wait a second: After I count one by one - Minuter ? About shy - "A" Chewed over a little bit -> Anagram : Ruminate ? Does a "minuter" exist in English ? Why am I under the impression of making a complete fool of myself ? :sigh: :-D

Yes, but you can now create it. Having both the clue and the solution. I'll get you started: "count off one by one" -> enumerate Better now?

anag. I + eNUMERATe obviously, but your definition (indicating a noun) doesn't match your answer (a verb).
I feared so! Would "chewing it of over a bit" have been a valid verb indication? Or does that automatically imply ruminating. What do you say? Cheers!

Ruminating or rumination but not what you want unfortunately. There's really not an alternative to defining a verb with another one, eg. (to) chew over (agreeing in number and tense, of course). You have to mould the clue around the definition in such cases even if it does make your original brilliant idea a no-go.

:confused: So what a valid (CCC) verb definition look like then? Cheers!
