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

  • 4x3x3
  • 5x3x3 (Found in fully proportional and cubic sizes, both solve identically)
  • 6x3x3
  • 7x3x3 (Found in fully proportional and cubic sizes, both solve identically)

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.

True Bubbloids

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

Edge Turning

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.

Corner Turning
