moistest
Least dry possible
Moistest is the superlative form of moist—the most slightly wet or damp.
It appears most often in contexts where moisture is desirable: the moistest cake I've ever had, the moistest soil in the garden.
The word inherits the mild discomfort some people feel with moist itself, making speakers occasionally avoid it.
