Stricter, and strictest. But I don't think it matters which one you use. A lot of people use more strict too. Personally I think more strict sounds better.

So far no one has said what I know is right In MY HEART. jk
More strict, most strict and strict are the correct ways to use the word. This rule ls stricter than many. hehe.
Really though- stricter is not an option.

What's up Angela, I will answer your question. The words "stricter" and "more strict" all depends on how you used them in a sentence. However, you should go with using the term "stricter" because that word is more commonly used rather than "more strict." For you reference, I will give you an example..."The current policies on reform are stricter than they have been in recent years."
Hope this helps you, take care Angela.

if an adjective has one syllable, then you place "er" on th end. Strict = stricter. Long = Longer. Short = Shorter. If the adjective ends in a "y" such as Happy = Happier. Easy = easier. If the adjective has two or more syllables then place "more" before the adjective. Substantial = more Subtantial etc

hi there,
you just need to follow the grammar rule concerning the construction of the comparative and the superlative forms.
--> one-syllable adjective (strict):
-comparative: strict + -er = stricter than "my father is stricter than my mother"
-superlative: strict + est = the strictest " I have the strictest parents"
Take care
