List of twisty puzzles
The following is a non-exhaustive list of twisty puzzles by shape and function.
Contents
Cube
Cubes are a basic type of twisty puzzle. They are face turning cubes (regular hexahedra) that usually solve similarly to one other. This is a list of popular cubes.
Cuboid
Cuboids are twisty puzzles that are like cubes, except the number of layers on each axis of the puzzle can be different. This is a list of popular cuboids. There are many more cuboids than the ones listed.
2x2 Towers
Floppies and Bricks
- 1x3x3 (Floppy Cube)
- 3x3x2 (Rubik's Domino)
- 1x4x4 ("Floppy Revenge")
- 1x5x5
- 5x5x4
- 4x4x3
- 4x4x5
3x3 Towers
- 4x3x3
- 5x3x3 (Found in fully proportional and cubic sizes, both solve identically)
- 6x3x3
- 7x3x3 (Found in fully proportional and cubic sizes, both solve identically)
Other 4x4xN
LxMxN
Other
- 5x5x4
- Cubic 3x3x9
- Cubic 2x2x16 (Solves identically as a fully proportional 2x2x16 would)
Bubbloids and Corner Turning Hexahedra
Bubbloids are similar to cuboids by shape, but turn by the corners instead of the faces. They usually have a curvy look from olzing, however, depending on the brand and puzzle, this is not always the case. This is a list of popular corner turning hexahedra.
Bubbloids
- Dino Cube
- Redi Cube ( A Dino Cube with corners)
- Curvy Dino Cube (A Redi Cube with centers)
- Fadi Cube
- Compy Cube
- Tony Fisher's Bubbloid (The original Bubbloid puzzle, a 4x4x5 corner-turning hexahedron)
- 5x5x4 Bubbloid
Other Corner Turning Hexahedra
- Rex Cube
- Master Rex Cube
- Skewb (A shape mod of a pyraminx without the tips. Each turn of a skewb splits the puzzle directly in half)
- Ivy Cube ( A Skewb missing half of its corners so that each face has 2 corners diagonal to each other)
Edge-Turning Cubes and/or Cuboids
4-sided
This is a list of popular 4-sided (tetrahedral) twisty puzzles.
Corner Turning
- Pyraminx (Corner-turning tetrahedron)
- Halpern-Meier Pyramid (Functions like a pyraminx with center pieces and no trivial tips)
- Rob's Pyraminx (A Halpern Meier Pyramid without the edges)
- Master Pyraminx (A 4x4 Pyraminx)
- Professor Pyraminx and other higher-order Pyraminxes
- Vulcano Pyraminx (Similar to a Professor Pyraminx)
Edge Turning
- Pyramorphix (2x2 shape mod)
- Mastermorphix (3x3 shhape mod)
- Other higher-order mastermorphixes
8-sided
8-sided puzzles (octahedra) are less common than some other shapes, but offer a different challenge.
12-sided
Face Turning
This is a list of popular face turning twelve-sided (dodecahedral) twisty puzzles.
20-sided
20-sided (icosahedral) puzzles are few and far between and some are incredibly rare. Here is a list of some 20-sided twisty puzzles.
