rangier
Longer and leaner
Rangier is the comparative form of rangy, describing something longer-limbed, leaner, or more loosely built than something else.
A rangier build suggests height without bulk: He was rangier than his stocky brother.
The word can also describe something more sprawling or extensive: The newer subdivision was rangier, with houses spread farther apart.
