888edo is excellent in the no-threes 13-limit, and it may possibly have little attention due to its lack of a perfect fifth. The usage of 3/2 is so deeply entrenched into nearly all musical traditions of the world, that temperaments which lack a perfect fifth do not get considered, even if other harmonics are excellently approximated.
888edo tempers out 6656/6655, 105644/105625, 4917248/4915625 and 35153041/35152000 in the no-threes 13 limit.

888 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 888edo or 888ed2), also called 888-tone equal temperament (888tet) or 888 equal temperament (888et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 888 equal parts of about 1.35 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 21/888, or the 888th root of 2.

888edo is inconsistent to the 5-odd-limit and harmonic 3 is about halfway between its steps. Otherwise it is excellent in approximating harmonics 5, 7, 9, 11, and 13, making it suitable for a 2.9.5.7.11.13 subgroup interpretation. The equal temperament tempers out 4096/4095, 6656/6655, 9801/9800, 10648/10647, 105644/105625, 151263/151200, and 250047/250000 in the above subgroup.

Subsets and supersets

Since 888 factors into 23 × 3 × 37, 888edo has subset edos 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 37, 74, 111, 148, 222, 296, and 444. 1776edo, which doubles it, provides a good correction for harmonic 3.
