Tada, we have a winner!
Would you care to show the derivation also?
You're on tomorrow!

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.

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

Would the imperative do?
"Chew it over!"

That it would indeed, yes siree Bob!

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.

Debbie does Dulas?
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

With windows folks, when you have a run-in , you don't have a problem communicating it.
i.e
Windows Team:
Me: Guys, what the heck, you folks updated something in your IDE but its' never informed? Nothing is building for me with Visual Studio. Why not just shoot a mail when you update things.??
Win Team: Oops! sorry, try installing this plug-in in your VS.
Android Team:
Me: Guys, what the heck, you folks updated something in your IDE but its' never informed? Nothing is building for me with Android Studio. Why not just shoot a mail when you update things.??
Win Team: Okay, try installing this plug-in in your _AS_.
(The tone,modulation definitely sounds not just A-S)
I had been intentionally trying to re-abbreviate it to "AndStud". "AStud". Elephanting folks, Nobody seem to follow it. Looks like, the simple two letter abbreviation has given them a good time!
Now I adapted to their style.
Me: Okay, take care & don't keep fiddling with your _AS_, without a communication, next times.
