Move like the Blob

Answer:

OOZE

Hint:

Think of how a thick, slow liquid might flow downward—like what a gelatinous monster might do when it shifts its shape.

Explanation:

The clue references "the Blob," a famous 1958 sci-fi movie monster that absorbs everything in its path by slowly dripping and spreading. "Move like the Blob" hints at how it flows thickly and sluggishly, which is exactly what "ooze" means—both as a verb (to seep slowly) and a noun (a gooey substance). The wordplay is straightforward, tying the creature’s iconic movement to a simple, fitting action word.
