crammed
Jammed in tight
Crammed describes something packed tightly to capacity, often uncomfortably so: The suitcase was crammed with clothes, a room crammed with furniture.
To cram is to force things into a space or, for students, to study intensively before an exam: She crammed all night for the final.
