Answer

CRAWL

This word describes a slow, ground level method of movement where the body stays low, typically with hands and knees touching the surface. Babies famously do this before walking, and the word can also describe any painfully slow progression, like traffic during rush hour. The word comes from Old Norse and has been part of English since the 14th century.

Strategy Tip

Words with the CR consonant blend at the start are fairly common in English. If you have confirmed C in the first position, trying words with common consonant clusters can help you narrow down quickly.
