Writers reach for twilit when they want a scene half-seen and a little mysterious, as with a twilit garden or a twilit road. It is built from twilight with the ending of a past participle, so it describes something that has been touched by that soft, grey-blue glow. The word is far more common in prose and poetry than in everyday speech.
