Askew, twisted (4)
I believe the answer is:
awry
This clue is a double definition.
'askew' is the first definition.
(synonyms)
'twisted' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
(Other definitions for awry that I've seen before include "Crooked- be wary" , "Out of kilter" , "Crooked, askew" , "Not functioning properly" , "turning to one side" .)
