Provide support for something crooked?

ABET

Not available

The clue plays on the double meaning of "crooked." On the surface, it suggests physically supporting something that’s bent or uneven, but "crooked" also hints at dishonesty or illegal activity. "Abet" fits because it means to assist or encourage wrongdoing—so you’re "supporting" something shady. The question mark signals the wordplay, nudging you to think beyond the literal.
