inched

the car inched forward in the heavy traffic.

she inched closer to the edge of the cliff.

the cat inched its way toward the sleeping dog.

he inched his way up the corporate ladder.

they inched along the narrow path in the forest.

the deadline inched closer as the days passed.

the snail inched its way across the garden.

she inched her way through the crowded room.

he inched the door open to peek inside.

the temperature inched up as summer approached.
