Anonymous"Let's see if it's the answer (that) you {have} thought" Is the sentence correct? Thank you.
For some reason "to think an answer" doesn't work for me.

Let's see [what answer / if it's the answer (that)] [you have come up with / you came up with].

'That' makes the grammar of my original correction clearer, too.

No. 'that' is optional. That's why I put it in parentheses in my suggested recasting of your sentence.
