'like sauna was yet different?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'was yet different?' is the wordplay.
'different?' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen 'different' mean this).
'was'+'yet'='wasyet'
'wasyet' anagrammed gives 'SWEATY'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sweaty that I've seen before include "like some athletes in competition?" , "Showing effects of fever" , "Covered in perspiration" , "Damp with perspiration" , "Given to perspiring, in moist state" .)
