wider

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'more comprehensive' is the definition.
('wide' can be similar in meaning to 'comprehensive')

'in a weird way' is the wordplay.
'weird' can be anagrammed to 'WIDER'.
However, I'm not sure how this is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?
