As for shyer or shier, both versions are acceptable in today’s standard English.
Personally, I would use the shyer/shyest version and that does not mean that there is a difference between British English and American English, even though in the UK shier is more common.

——-
You can even use more shy but only when you are putting emphasis on the adjective.

Becky is shyer than Jamie, but even then out of the people in the group they hang around with they are probably the most outgoing. Well, what about that new girl Emma, she’s even more shy.

My Longman dictionary states that the comparative of ‘shy’ is ‘shyer’. However, at least two online dictionaries also give the form ‘shier’ as being acceptable: The Free Dictionary and Merriam-Webster. On an English language forum I came across a reference to British (shyer) vs. American (shier) spelling. But an Ngram chart shows that even in American English ‘shyer’ is much more used.

My problem is that I’ve been told that it is definitely wrong, but if it’s in dictionaries then… has there been a change to what is wrong?

P.S.: Google Ngram link

Both are acceptable in the U.S., however «shier» is the preferred spelling in American English and «shyer» is the proper spelling in the Queen’s English.

Dictionaries do indeed allow both spellings shier and shyer. However, the spellings are not pleasant to the eye. I tend to avoid them by substituting another adjective, such as bashful.
