What does SIDLE mean in Scrabble?
verb
To move sideways, especially in a shy, cautious or furtive manner.
Someone who sidles avoids walking straight toward a person or place, instead edging along a wall or through a crowd a little at a time. The motion often signals nervousness, embarrassment or a wish not to be noticed, as when a latecomer sidles into a meeting. Animals can sidle too, moving crabwise along a branch or ledge rather than facing forward.
