The term 'move at a snail's pace' is often used to describe something that is moving very slowly. This phrase can be broken down into three crossword solutions: INCH (4 letters), CREEP (5 letters), and CRAWL (5 letters). INCH means to move very slowly, as if measuring the distance with one's feet. CREEP is similar to INCH, but implies a more stealthy movement. Finally, CRAWL is to move slowly on hands and knees or by dragging one's body along the ground. All three words are used to describe a slow, deliberate movement.
