A twist is a change in direction. It can be caused by a force, such as when you twist a piece of paper, or it can happen naturally, such as when a tornado twists the air.
Twists can be big or small. A tornado can twist the air for miles, while a twist of a piece of paper may only be a few inches.
Twists can be used to create different shapes. For example, you can twist a piece of paper into a spiral, or you can twist a piece of dough into a pretzel.
The rope was twisted around the pole.
