List of twisty puzzles
The following is a non-exhaustive list of twisty puzzles by shape and function.
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
3x3 Towers
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.
