Twist Object

This deformer twists an object about its Y axis. Drag the orange handle on the deformer’s top surface to control the twist deformation interactively in the viewport.

A deformer can only work with what you give it. If you wish to twist the recipient smoothly, ensure that it has a sufficiently high number of segments/subdivisions along the twist axis.
Cube with 5x5x5 segments.
