What does REWET mean in Scrabble?
verb
To make something wet again after it has dried, or to become wet again.
Rewet is used when a material that has already dried out needs moisture reapplied, such as a stamp, a paint surface, or soil that has dried between waterings. Artists sometimes rewet dried watercolor paint on a palette to make it usable again, while gardeners rewet compacted soil so water can soak in properly. The word simply reverses the earlier drying, rather than describing a first application of moisture.
