Didn't know the word and the online dictionary told me: 'a) away from the appropriate, planned, or expected course; amiss
synonyms: amiss, wrong;
"something was awry"
b) out of the normal or correct position; askew. synonyms: askew, crooked, lopsided, tilted, skewed, skew, to one side, off-center, uneven
This ladder is so crooked it cannot be used anymore and I tilted the picture, so I hope this works for the word "awry"
