Best Puzzles of 2025

[SpeedCubingLord]

This year has been great for speedcubing. With a spectacular World Championship, and many records broken. Now, as the year is coming to a close, we can reflect on this. In the video above Phil Yu shares opinions on behalf of TheCubicle about their best cubes of 2025. Now, I must ask you, what were your favorite puzzles to use this year?



Here's mine:

3x3: Gan 16 Max UV & HuaMeng TG UV (for OH tv3)
2x2: Gan 251 M Pro
4x4: AoSu v7 Double Track UV
5x5: Gan 562M (Tymon Edition, I'm sorry @camcuber )
Pyraminx: Gan Pyraminx Enhanced UV
Megaminx: Gan Megaminx v2 UV
Square-1: YJ MGC v2

 

[Caleb Valenzuela]

3x3: GAN 12 Maglev & RS3M V5
2x2: GAN 251 M Pro
4x4: MoYu Aosu V7 (any version is good)

all the cubes are my mains aside from the aosu v7 (i don’ even have it bruv)

 

[That0newe1rdo]

3x3 - Dayan Guhong Pro (Maglev)
2x2 - Qiyi M Pro (my only good 2x2 so no competition)
4x4 - Aosu v7 ST UV
5x5 - AoChuang v6 ST
Skewb - RS Skewb, but may change a I want the new dayan one for christmas (which is 23 days away wth)

I also like the YLM squan, idk why tho, I think its the slices... cause the U and D layers are kinda buns ngl.

Edit :

Idk why there arent much videos on the Qiyi M Pro Pioneer pyra tho, it seems really good.

but you can’t put a prototype that hasn’t been released to the in a list which is mainly agreed on by the majority

Gan square-1 or YJ MGC v2, you can also include in this list

uhh, majority says that MGC v2 is way worse than the v1. SQUAN V1 THE GOAT

I love my RS3M V5, and my friend let me try their GAN 251M recently and I really like that as well. I'm actually considering buying one.
