22edo can benefit from slightly compressing the octave, especially when using it as an 11-limit equal temperament. With the right amount of stretch we can find a slightly better 3rd harmonic and significantly better 7th harmonic at the expense of somewhat less accurate approximations of 5 and 11.

; 22edo
Good compressed-22 options include: [[ZPI|80zpi]], [[57ed6]] or [[35edt]].
* Step size: 54.545{{c}}, octave size: 1200.000{{c}}
Pure-octaves 22edo approximates all harmonics up to 16 but 13 within 14.3{{c}}.

; [[WE|22et, 11-limit WE tuning]]
* Step size: 54.494{{c}}, octave size: 1198.859{{c}}
Compressing the octave of 22edo by around 1.1{{c}} results in slightly improved primes 3, 7, and 17, but slightly worse primes 5 and 11. This approximates all harmonics up to 16 but 13 within 10.6{{c}}. Both 11-limit TE and WE tunings do this.

; [[ZPI|80zpi]]  
* Step size: 54.483{{c}}, octave size: 1198.630{{c}}
Compressing the octave of 22edo by around 1.4{{c}} results in slightly improved primes 3, 7 and 17, but slightly worse primes 5 and 11. This approximates all harmonics up to 16 but 13 within 10.6{{c}}. The tuning 80zpi does this.

; [[57ed6]]  
* Step size: 54.420{{c}}, octave size: 1197.246{{c}}
Compressing the octave of 22edo by around 2.8{{c}} results in greatly improved primes 3 and 7, but far worse primes 5 and 11 and a [[JND|just noticeably worse]] 2. The mapping of 13 differs from 22edo but has about the same amount of error. This approximates all harmonics up to 16 but 13 within 15.4{{c}}. With its worse 5 and 11, it only really makes sense as a [[2.3.7 subgroup|2.3.7-subgroup]] tuning, e.g. for [[archy]] (2.3.7-subgroup superpyth) temperament. The tuning 57ed6 does this.

; [[35edt]]  
* Step size: 54.342{{c}}, octave size: 1195.515{{c}}
Compressing the octave of 22edo by around 4.5{{c}} results in greatly improved primes 3, 7 and 13, but far worse primes 5 and 11 and a moderately worse 2. This approximates all harmonics up to 16 within 21.4{{c}}. The tunings 35edt and [[62ed7]] both do this. This extends 57ed6's 2.3.7-subgroup tuning into a [[2.3.7.13 subgroup|2.3.7.13-subgroup]] tuning.
