I came in very damp (5)
I believe the answer is:
moist
'damp' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'i came in very' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'i' is within the answer.
'very' could be 'most' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'most' is located in the remaining letters.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for moist that I've seen before include "Damp or clammy" , "sloppy" , "Affected by tears, perhaps" , "Slightly wet, damp" , "bit wet" .)
