More mischievous (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

naughtier

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">more mischievous</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">('naughty' can be a synonym of 'mischievous')</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for naughtier that I've seen before include "More badly behaved" , "Less well behaved" , "More mischievous" , "more unruly" , "Worse" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times (Simplex), The Telegraph and the Sydney Morning Herald.
