Answer

WRIST

Today's word refers to the joint between the hand and the forearm, containing eight small bones called carpal bones. The word comes from Old English 'wrist' and is related to words meaning to twist or turn, which makes sense given the rotational movement this joint allows. It is one of the most flexible and complex joints in the human body.

Strategy Tip

This puzzle contains the common consonant cluster ST at the end. Words ending in ST are fairly common in English, so trying starter words that include this combination can help you identify or rule out this pattern early.
