lopsidedly

In tilted fashion

Lopsidedly describes doing something in an uneven or unbalanced way, with one side heavier, larger, or more prominent than the other.

A picture might hang lopsidedly on a wall, or someone might smile lopsidedly, with one corner of the mouth higher than the other.

The word extends to abstract imbalances: The vote went lopsidedly in favor of the incumbent.
