Think of moving smoothly along a surface without lifting off it: what a kid does down a playground chute, and what a baseball runner does into a base.
There are two vowels: I in the middle and E at the end. The other three letters are all different, and nothing repeats.
It is a noun - the playground chute itself, or one page of a presentation deck - and also a verb, to glide along a surface.
It starts with S.
It ends with E, the middle letter is I, and the second and fourth letters are L and D.
The answer
This is the full solution to Wordle #1,959. Only tap if you are ready.
SLIDE: to move smoothly along a surface while staying in contact with it - and, as a noun, everything from a playground chute to one page of a presentation. The near neighbors are the trap: GLIDE differs by a single letter, and SLICE and SLIME each share four of its five letters.
