scrabble
Claw and grasp
To scrabble is to scratch, scrape, or claw frantically, usually while searching for something: She scrabbled in her purse for her keys.
The word suggests hurried, somewhat desperate movements with the hands or fingers across a surface.
Scrabble also means to struggle or scramble: scrabbling to make ends meet. (Capitalized Scrabble is the board game.)
