Scoffed more than seven, say (3)
I believe the answer is:
ate
'scoffed' is the definition.
('to scoff' is to eat)
'more than seven say' is the wordplay.
'more than seven' becomes 'eight'.
'say' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'eight' sounds like 'ATE'.
(Other definitions for ate that I've seen before include "Munched" , "Consumed food" , "Had at meal" , "included in one's diet" , "mischief-maker" .)
