Oh, sure thing! So, the correct version would be 'cuter', and here's why:
When we want to compare the degree of cuteness of two things or people, we typically use what we call the comparative form, which is formed by adding the suffix '-er' to the end of the adjective. So in this case, 'cute' becomes 'cuter' when we want to say that something is more cute than something else.
On the other hand, if we're talking about comparing more than two things, that's when we use the superlative form, which is formed by adding the suffix '-est' to the end of the adjective. So if we were talking about three puppies, and we wanted to say which one was the cutest, we would say 'This one is the cutest.'
Something important to keep in mind, though, is that there are some adjectives that don't follow this pattern of adding '-er' or '-est.' For example, 'good' becomes 'better' in comparative form, and 'best' in superlative, while 'bad' becomes 'worse' in comparative form, and 'worst' in superlative.
So, just remember that 'cuter' is the correct comparative form of 'cute', and you'll be good to go!
