I think so, if you take it apart, you will find something interesting:

"What gets wet when it dries?"

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 <something>" 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. I'm ignoring it's a known trick here ;-)
