I really enjoy 15 puzzle do you think it should be in the WCA?
clock is a twisty puzzle lolNo, it's not a twisty puzzle.
Clock isn't either but I guess it's just left in for historical reasons.
@zzoomer gave a sympathy vote lol
To my knowledge, the main drawbacks to making it an official event are long scrambles and very short solving time at the top level (Ben has a 5.4x ao100, what the h*ck).
The solving is much faster. The puzzle's very fun but it's kind of like clock in the sense that it's super easy, there's not a whole bunch of different ways to solve it, it would be controversial, etc, etc. It just doesn't belong in the WCA. If your going to add another event it might as well be something with a large following and something not highly controversial like, ahemScrambles aren't particularly long, they're only about as long as 4x4 scrambles.
and preferably a more rubik's-cube-like twisty puzzle, instead of a sliding puzzleIf your going to add another event it might as well be something with a large following and something not highly controversial like, ahem

The clocks twist as you push or pull the gears.Clock isn't either but I guess it's just left in for historical reasons.
They didn't mention clock, also "commonly" which implies that they aren't always called "twisty puzzles"WCA says differently:

Isn't that what a Rubik's cube does too?The 15-puzzle doesn't twist anything at all, you're moving around some squares
