"The rope got tangled into a knot." "The headphone wire is going to turn into a tangle if you keep messing with it." A tangle, or tangling, is like what happens to your headphone wires, or long hair, when you mess with it. It gets bunched together, and gets into knots. Untangling is straightening your hair, or the tangled object.

These examples use “tangle” as a verb:
“Don’t tangle the cords, please!”
“She doesn’t usually tangle them like that.”
“Why did you tangle them up?”
These examples use the word “tangled,” which is also common, and an adjective:
“My hair was really tangled this morning.”
“If the dancers fall, they’ll be a bit tangled!”
“I didn’t know the ropes would be tangled like this.”
I hope these help!
