Get sub field object of field in a group?

I have a wysiwyg field in one of my flexible content blocks, and I call “wysiwyg” as a class for the block with the following code:

<?php
$content = get_sub_field('text');

$field = get_sub_field_object('text');
$fieldtype = $field['type']; ?>

<div class="<?php echo $fieldtype; ?>">

It works great, but I need to achieve the same thing with a wysiwyg field within an acf field group and I can’t get it to work the same way. This is what I have now:

<?php

$content = get_sub_field('twi_fields');
$text = $content['twi_text'];

$field = get_sub_field_object('$text');
$fieldtype = $field['type']; 
?>

<div class="<?php echo $fieldtype; ?>">

To get the field object of a group field sub field you need to treat the group field as a repeater, not as an array.

while (have_rows('twi_fields')) {
  // always happens once on a group field
  the_row();
  $text = get_sub_field('twi_text');
  $field = get_sub_field_object('twi_text');
  $fieldtype = $field['type'];
}
