Walking with difficulty can be described in many ways, such as hobbling (6 letters), slogging (4 letters), gimping (4 letters), and plodding (4 letters). Hobbling is a slow, awkward walk caused by an injury or disability. Slogging is to walk slowly and laboriously, often through mud or water. Gimping is to walk with a limp, usually due to an injury or disability. Plodding is to walk slowly and heavily, often with great effort.
