Hi,
Could you indicate the different among 4 above adjs? I see their meaning is rather equivalent. And, screw up- what does it mean?

Hi Loverose,

These are all verbs. 'Wrinkle' suggests crease as in small lines appear in the material. 'Twist' means turn from side to side, 'turn' means move to another side and 'fold' could suggest making it half the size - you fold a piece of paper in half.
