That's what I thought.

But, the majority opinion here is that dry wood is harder to split than
wet wood.

Not in my experience. Dry, especially straight grained like oak, just pops
apart. Wet wood tends to be stringier and stops the maul. IMO, frozen is
best, dry close, wet can be nasty, unless you have a powered splitter.
