Inched (5)

I think it could be either:

edged

crept

'inched' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for crept that I've seen before include "Sneaked" , "was obsequious" , "cringed" , "Went stealthily or furtively" , "Moved stealthily" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald and The Sun.
