wonkier
Less straight than
Wonkier is the comparative form of wonky, meaning more unsteady, crooked, or off-kilter than something else: The table got wonkier after we moved it.
In British usage especially, wonky suggests something shaky or malfunctioning.
The word can also mean more obsessively detailed or policy-focused: His second book was even wonkier than the first.
