Note
The y of bloody turns to i before -est, as in happiest and angriest. The superlative belongs to the literal meanings, the ones that can be ranked: the bloodiest battle of a war, the bloodiest bandage on the tray. The intensifier heard in British and Commonwealth speech, as in a bloody nuisance, only adds force, so it is not normally put in the superlative.
