The term 'not just damp' can be described by two crossword solutions: WET (3 letters) and SOAKED (6 letters). WET is a term used to describe something that has been exposed to liquid, usually water, and is not completely dry. SOAKED is a term used to describe something that has been exposed to a large amount of liquid, usually water, and is completely saturated. Both terms are used to describe a level of moisture, but SOAKED implies a much higher level than WET.
