Hint 1: Clue Explanation
▼This entry is a debut for the Times puzzle; it’s logical, even for those of us who’ve never heard the term SADDLE JOINT, because convex meets concave much the way a rider sits in a saddle, forming a junction with a good deal of mobility (assuming the rider successfully maintains that contact). The base of your thumb, which is a particularly strong and multidirectional connection, but also prone to arthritis, is a saddle joint; there are others in the body as well, in odd spots like the inner ear.
