I used to think "snuck" was correct, but TIL.

Never trust Merriam-Webster. I don't know if the errors I found are fixed now, but the fact they existed in the first place is disappointing. The only trustworthy English dictionary is Oxford.

Edit: Snuck is a US informal term, according to the backup dictionary, Collins. This dictionary is riddled with ads, but also multiple sources for alternative definitions.

Imagine being so far up your own ass you call another dialect a mistake that shouldn't exist.
