What's the difference between straggle and straggled?
Straggle
Definition:
(v. t.) To wander from the direct course or way; to rove; to stray; to wander from the line of march or desert the line of battle; as, when troops are on the march, the men should not straggle.
(v. t.) To wander at large; to roam idly about; to ramble.
(v. t.) To escape or stretch beyond proper limits, as the branches of a plant; to spread widely apart; to shoot too far or widely in growth.
(v. t.) To be dispersed or separated; to occur at intervals.
(n.) The act of straggling.
Example Sentences:

(8) Behind came a straggling caravan of mules and porters, including a couple of teenage boys who watched the college girls with sullen fascination.
(9) The diameter of the papules is mostly 3-5 mm, they are not painful when touched, are straggled irregularly, their large numbers are on the upper surface of the body.
(10) This study has intercompared the predictions of Fermi-Eyges theory for the rms spatial spread (sigma) of an electron pencil beam scattering in muscle-, lung- and bone-equivalent media with those of; two range straggling modifications to the theory, Monte Carlo simulations, and an empirical method based on broad beam penumbra.
(11) The effect of the physical state (phase) of the absorbing medium and the energy straggling of the alpha particles on the calculation of the radiation dose due to the daughter products of radon deposited in the lung have been studied in detail.

(13) The conclusions are based on a detailed Monte Carlo model which includes Landau straggling, multiple scattering, and the space dependence of the magnetic field.
(14) The discrepancy in the surface dose is shown to exist because the modified Landau energy-loss straggling distribution used in ETRAN underestimates the mean energy loss by about 10% since it underestimates the number of large energy-loss events.
