Mightier:
* Comparative adjective: Used to compare the strength or power of two things.
* Example: "The lion is mightier than the tiger."

* "Mightier" and "mightiest" can be used figuratively to refer to intangible qualities like determination, will, or influence.
* While "stronger" and "strongest" are more common synonyms for "mightier" and "mightiest," "mightier" and "mightiest" emphasize a more powerful and authoritative strength.
