Obviously wrong
Explanation is not enough
Written in a language I can't understand
Answer is not related to the question
Other reason
- Polish
'Większy' means 'bigger', for example 'ten telefon jest większy od tego' what means this phone is bigger than that'. 'Więcej' means 'more', for example 'w tym pudełku jest więcej cukierków niż w tamtym' what means 'in this box is more sweets than in that'. :)

That's quite simple: większy means "greater" or "bigger" and więcej means "more", e.g. Afganistan jest większy od Kuwejtu. - Afghanistan is bigger than Kuwait.
Zjadłem dziś więcej lodów niż sam ważę. - Today I ate more ice cream than I weigh.

@gabrielohlsen "Większy" is an adjective, so it should usually describe a noun, e.g. "większy samochód" (a bigger car), "większy kłopot" (bigger trouble).
"Więcej" is an adverb, so as suggested by its name it modifies a verb, e.g. "powiedz więcej" (say more).
Sometimes "więcej" can come with a noun, especially in short commands, and then the verb is implied or obvious from the context, e.g. "(dodaj) więcej cukru" ([add] more sugar).
