Zipped

Answer:

SPED

Hint:

Think of how a car might move quickly down a highway, especially when passing others. The word starts with the same sound as "swift."

Explanation:

"Zipped" here is a playful hint meaning "moved quickly," like how you might say someone "zipped by." The answer "SPED" fits because it’s the past tense of "speed," which also means to go fast. The clue uses the idea of zipping as a stand-in for speeding, making it a clever wordplay twist.
