unrulier
Harder to manage
Unrulier is the comparative form of unruly, describing someone or something that is more difficult to control or discipline than another.
Children become unrulier when they're tired, crowds grow unrulier as tensions mount, and hair gets unrulier in humid weather.
The class was even unrulier than usual with a substitute teacher.
