Considered the matter closed? (7,2,4)
I believe the answer is:
thought it over
'considered the matter closed?' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'considered the matter closed?' is the wordplay.
'considered' becomes 'thought' (I've seen this before).
'the matter' becomes 'it' ('it' means a thing or matter).
'closed?' becomes 'over'.
'thought'+'it'+'over'='THOUGHT IT OVER'
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
