Crossword Genius

Very wet turf on lair (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sodden

'very wet' is the definition.

'turf on lair' is the wordplay.
'turf' becomes 'sod' (synonyms).
'on' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'lair' becomes 'den' (synonyms).
'sod'+'den'='SODDEN'

(Other definitions for sodden that I've seen before include "Waterlogged" , "'Soaked, sopping (6)'" , "Soaking wet" , "Drenched through, really wet" , "Soaked to the skin" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
