You used (get wet) to mention its state, to create a real conflict between the words you would use (gets dry) instead of (dries)... a bit weak explanation, I know, but that's what English allows me! So, "What gets wet as it dries " should mean that it takes the wetness out of something else, so I'd say that this isn't playing with words but may well be a "Lojbanic puzzle"! PS.
