I believe the answer is:
slid
(Other definitions for slid that I've seen before include "Slipped" , "Moved (eg, on ice)" , "Moved smoothly along a surface" , "Skidded, slewed" .)
I've seen this clue in the Universal, The New York Times, the LA Times, the Newsday, the King Feature Syndicate and the USA Today.
