squiggled
Made curvy lines
Squiggled is the past tense of squiggle—to draw or write in wavy, irregular lines.
A child squiggled across the page with crayons.
A signature might be squiggled hastily.
The word suggests loose, playful, or careless mark-making rather than precise strokes: She squiggled her name on the receipt without looking.
