Easy puzzle for sister?

[Annie09]

Hello! I am looking to find an easy cube/puzzle for my 10 year old sister. Eventually I’ll teach her 3x3, but right now she doesn’t have the patience to learn a ton of algorithms. I was considering 2x2, but I think it is better to learn 3x3 before that. Anyway any suggestions?

2x2 or pyraminx

Imagine have a sister who's willing to learn any puzzle.

I’ve taught my siblings either pyraminx or clock first! Skewb is also a great option outside of 2x2 and 3x3. 2x2 can help with some of the logic behind 3x3, like matching pieces together or inserting them.

Of course it's one of the 2 events you do.

Obviously. Need to spread clock wisdom to the youth. But I think pyra is great to start on—my siblings gained a lot of basic logic surrounding other puzzles through learning to make layers on it. The super beginner method is very easy to learn, too—just keep making layers until you get a skip case.

Also I do more than just clock and pyraminx

Thanks! I think pyraminx is a really good idea, and I haven’t ever tried clock, but maybe I’ll have to test it out.

skewb is super easy and fun.
you just use lefty sledge or righty sledge and how to hold the cube

I solve my maple leaves skewb step in 45sec avg but I ordered a magnetic skewb and want to learn sarah's intermediate and get better at it

Since when have been so obsessed with skewb? This is like your third post in the past hour recommending skewb.

Pyra. A friend solved it by trying and with 1 alg multiple times

3x3x1 floppy-cube, and the floppy Ghost Cube are not that hard, but quite fun. For an additional challenge, try and one-look the solve, performing it blindfolded / eyes-closed.

Thanks!

Pyraminx Duo. Pretty much the easiest non-trivial puzzle.

My sister doesn't want to cube, but she will pick up my Redi Cube and solve it occasionally since it's really intuitive.

Yep I've given a redi cube to a friend who is not a cuber and he solved it with just intuition

i say skewb or pyrainx skewb only need 1 alg and pyraminx is so easy

 

[Noob's Cubes]

Don't do 2x2

Honestly skewb only requires one alg to learn, however the pieces that move can be confusing.
My 8 year old sister did manage to learn it tho
