18edo's [[prime]]s 3, 5, 7 and 13 are all tuned sharp, so it can benefit from [[octave shrinking]]. Some shrunk versions of 18edo include [[zpi|61zpi]], [[ed12|65ed12]] and [[ed6|47ed6]].

* Step size: 66.667{{c}}, octave size: 1200.0{{c}}
Pure-octaves 18edo approximates all harmonics up to 15 within 31.4{{c}}.

; [[WE|18et, 13-limit WE tuning]]
* Step size: 66.291{{c}}, octave size: 1193.2{{c}}
Compressing the octave of 18edo by around 7{{c}} results in improved primes 3, 5, 7 and 13, but worse primes 2 and 11. This approximates all harmonics up to 15 within 25.3{{c}}. Its 13-limit WE tuning and 13-limit [[TE]] tuning both do this.
