<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">more impoverished</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">('needy' can be a synonym of 'impoverished')</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for needier that I've seen before include "poor, ultimately - more so than others" , "More disadvantaged" , "Poorer" , "Wanting more" , "more impoverished" .)
