Hi there

I find it very confusing to see the difference between these verbs that describe different ways of walking.

Examples

A) I wasn’t used to so much walking, and I ended up limping/hobbling home, with blisters on both feet.

B) The children dashed/scuttled/scurried/sprinted/scampered off as soon as the headmaster appeared.

c) I managed to creep/slink/sneak/tiptoe up behind the burglar before he noticed me.

d) A gang of youths were loitering/lingering outside the cinema.

e) We trudged/plodded through the snow.

f) He was found wandering/prowling/loitering the neighborhood. (Do prowl and loiter imply he wanted to commit a crime?)

g) The man was staggering/lurching/tottering/wobble outside the pub. (Is totter also used when you feel weak or dizzy?)

h)I scrambled/clambered up the mountain to find the best viewpoint of the island.

I really appreciate if you can help me understand some of the nuances these words have.
