Unscrew or twist a lid
HI,
Can you help?
Twisting the lid from the teakettle, he plopped the boy inside it and then replaced the lid firmly.
Can you tell me the difference between unscrew the lid and twist the lid?

Hi, unscrew means there is a thread twist means to turn the lid, with some force. In my experience, lids usually sit on kettles. And even bounce up and down a little as the steam pressure builds up So, I put a lid on, take a lid off.

Thank you very much.
This is a novel. This boy encountered a giant, whose kettle was very big.
In my experience, if a lid is opened by turning, it must have a thread, or thread-like structure.
I can't see there is a difference.
What do you think?
