"CROOKED" and "TWISTED" have the same meaning when talking about the structure of something. Both "TWISTED" and "CROOKED" mean to be distorted or forced out of it's original/natural state.
ex: "The crooked metal in the street was causing heavy traffic."
;; "The twisted metal in the street was causing heavy traffic."
But, "TWISTED" and "CROOKED" have different meanings in the matter of...
1. TWISTED - means to have an abnormal way of thinking
ex; "The twisted old man across the street was disturbing."
2. CROOKED - dishonest / untrustworthy / illegal
ex; "His proposition seemed crooked to me."
