'''22edt''' is the '''equal division of the third harmonic''' ([[edt]]) into '''22 tones''', each 86.4525 [[cent]]s in size.


22edt has good approximations of the 7th, 11th, 19th and 20th harmonics, being better for its size in the 3.7.11 subgroup than even [[13edt]] is in 3.5.7. In this subgroup, it tempers out the commas [[1331/1323]] and [[387420489/386683451]], with the former comma allowing a hard [[5L 2s (3/1-equivalent)|5L 2s]] (macrodiatonic) scale generated by [[11/7]], two of which are equated to [[27/11]] and three of which are equated to [[9/7]] up a tritave. This [[9/7]] can also serve as the generator for a [[4L 5s (3/1-equivalent)|4L 5s]] (BPS enneatonic) scale, supporting [[Bohlen-Pierce-Stearns]] harmony by tempering out [[245/243]], although its representation fo the 3.5.7 subgroup is less accurate than that of 13edt.

Like [[11edt]], both the [[octave]] and [[small whole tone]] ([[10/9]]) are about 10c off (sharp and flat respectively) dissonant but recognizable. Akin to [[16edt]] with [[Blackwood]], admitting the octave induces an interpretation into a tritave-based version of [[Whitewood]] temperament.
