biggest
Surpassing all others
Biggest is the superlative of big—the largest in size, amount, or importance among three or more things: the biggest house on the block, my biggest fear, the biggest mistake of his life.
It often carries emphasis beyond literal measurement: That's the biggest load of nonsense I've ever heard.
