How to Say "crammed" in Spanish
The Spanish word for “crammed” is “repleto” — B1 level. This is a very common word in everyday Spanish.
Examples

The 'De' Connection
When you want to say what something is full of, always use the word 'de' (of) immediately after 'repleto'.
Matching the Subject
Because it's an adjective, the ending must change to match the gender and number: repleto (masculine), repleta (feminine), repletos (plural masculine), repletas (plural feminine).
Using 'Ser' instead of 'Estar'
Mistake: “El vaso es repleto.”
Correction: El vaso está repleto. Use 'estar' because being full is a state or condition, not a permanent identity.
