Ponder is not used that much. More common is “Let me think about it (some more).” Or “Let me sleep on it”

He ponders means he thinks deeply on what to do, considering all possible options and solutions.
He sleeps on it means he will not think about it anymore until the next morning, after a good night sleep.

@jwofnell it could be, yes. i'm a teen and we don't really say ponder in causal chat, but for older people and in books/articles they might say, for example "i pondered all the possible outcomes of this problem" or "i often ponder about what getting my dream job would be like" or "he pondered his next words carefully" if its a book.

@mistybellina I love that a young teen is helping language learners on HiNative.
As you state, ponder is not used much in conversation, maybe more in written books. In conversation, the word “carefully consider” is equivalent to ponder.
