unwieldier
Harder to handle
Unwieldier is the comparative form of unwieldy—more difficult to handle, move, or manage due to size, shape, or complexity.
Physical objects become unwieldier as they grow larger or more awkward: The package got unwieldier with each item I added.
Abstract things follow the same pattern: The bureaucracy grew unwieldier with every new regulation.
