sloppier

More carelessly done

Sloppier is the comparative form of sloppy—more careless, messier, or less precise than something else.

Work can be sloppier than before, handwriting sloppier than a sibling's, a drunk's movements sloppier with each drink: His technique got sloppier as the game went on.
