Help the exhausted hiker compare the two mountain trails by dragging the correct adjectives to the blanks.

The Northern Trail was much steeper than the map suggested. My backpack felt heavier with every step, and the afternoon sun was noticeably hotter than it was yesterday.

For short adjectives (one syllable), add "-er" (steep $\rightarrow$ steeper).

If a two-syllable adjective ends in "-y", change the "y" to "i" and add "-er" (heavy $\rightarrow$ heavier).

If a short adjective ends in a single vowel + consonant, double the final consonant before adding "-er" (hot $\rightarrow$ hotter).
