Teraminx
The Teraminx, like the Megaminx, is a dodecahedral puzzle. It has 7 layers, as opposed to the Megaminx's 3 layers
The first mass produced teraminx was released in 2010 by MF8, ShengShou released their own stickered version shortly afterwards.
The teraminx hardware remained relatively stagnant for a long time, however, in 2022 and 2023, various companies began producing stickerless versions of the puzzle with more modern hardware and design. Initially YuXin released a stickerless teraminx which far outperformed previous teraminxes, however, in 2023 DianSheng released the first magnetic teraminx which is now far more highly regarded among speedcubers, shortly afterwards, ShengShou improved their teraminx design and made it stickerless and available for a much lower price than all the other teraminxes on the market, the ShengShou teraminx does not perform as well as the YuXin or DianSheng but is exciting as it has made far more people give the puzzle a go.
The puzzle can be solved very similarly to the 7x7x7 by solving the centres first and then the edges and then finishing it off like a megaminx, however, many people prefer to mix this up a bit and actually solve the edges and megaminx stage while solving the centres.
