    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.

    Would the imperative do? "Chew it over!" Cheers!

        I'll try to do better next time. Thanks for your help! Is it generally harder to do verb definitions than nouns? Cheers!

          A tad perhaps but I'd go for adverbs as by far the hardest, followed by adjectives, because it can be so tricky to fit them into a natural sounding sentence. Of course, the luxury you have with this CCC is that you only have to produce one clue on the day so you can practice in the privacy of your own brain and reject any that don't quite work beforehand.
