Cheat at every turn? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

twist

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'cheat' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'at every turn?' is the wordplay.
'at' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'every' becomes 'wist' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'turn?' becomes 't' (abbreviation in Oxford Dictionary of Abbreviations).
'wist' put after 't' is 'TWIST'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for twist that I've seen before include "Spin - pervert" , "Misrepresent - dance" , "bread" , "Request for another card" , "Embellishment to plot" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
