Been playing with my new FTO for a dew days - wasn’t able to solve it without help. I went with the Bencisco method and it’s a really fun solve. It did take a bit for me to fully grasp solving centers (it’s like 4x4 Yau method, but with a restriction). And I still don’t fully comprehend solving the last 3 triplets, but I can always get them.

Some of my favorite twisty puzzles are ones that don’t take a lot of learning. Just intuitive moves if you have a method. So more like solving a puzzle than following a list of steps. The FTO is almost that. The few algorithms I had to learn are basically intuitive once you see them once.

I definitely see myself picking this cube up a lot to solve for fun. My main complaint is that sometimes the puzzle is just solved after solving the centers. I actually really like the last step, but often multiple steps get skipped at the end. But then that’s just an excuse to scramble it up again!
