grimiest

Dirtiest of all

Grimiest is the superlative form of grimy—the most covered in grime, dirt, or ingrained filth.

It describes whatever is dirtiest among things compared: the grimiest corners of the basement, the grimiest dive bar in town.

The word suggests not just surface dirt but accumulated, stubborn filth.
