## Definition

more full of spice or having a stronger, hotter taste than something else. You use this to compare two foods that have a kick.

For teachers: the comparative form of 'spicy'; containing more spice or producing a more pungent, piquant sensation on the palate.

## Pitfalls

- Not "more spicier" but "spicier" — Spicier is already a comparative form; adding 'more' creates a double comparative error.

## Usage notes

- Comparative adjective — typically followed by 'than' when comparing two items.
