untidier
Less neat than
Untidier is the comparative form of untidy—more messy, disorganized, or unkempt than something else: Her desk was untidier than mine.
The word applies to physical spaces, appearances, or abstract things like plans and arguments: The second draft was somehow untidier than the first.
