Tiny and scurrying, perhaps

Answer:

ANT-LIKE

Hint:

Not available

Explanation:

The clue describes something small and fast-moving, hinting at an insect or creature that fits "tiny and scurrying." The answer "ANT-LIKE" plays on the idea of ants, which are small and quick, while the hyphenated "-like" suggests a comparison rather than the insect itself. It’s a straightforward definition with a slight twist—no hidden wordplay, just a literal nod to ant behavior.
