puttier

Softer and squishier

Puttier is the comparative form of putty, an adjective describing something that resembles putty in texture or consistency—soft, malleable, and easily shaped.

If one substance is puttier than another, it has more of that soft, pliable quality.

The clay felt puttier after I added water.

The word sees limited use, appearing mainly in contexts involving materials, textures, or occasionally skin tone comparisons.
