More unkind (6)

I believe the answer is:

meaner

(Other definitions for meaner that I've seen before include "Rename as being more stingy" , "Less generous" , "Rename as being stingier" , "More stingy or parsimonious" , "Rename (anag.)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald and The Star Tribune.
