Adjust U-face Moves that need to be applied to put a pattern in a certain direction before performing an algorithm. Move suffix indicating oppsite face to be turned in the same direction (clockwise - anticlockwise). Notation indicating that the corner on which it is written on needs to be twisted counter-clockwise. + Notation indicating that the corner on which it is written on needs to be twisted clockwise. Used to show the calculation to determine if there is a corner-edge parity on the cube. # Mathematical notation used to indicate the number of elements in a set. ' Suffix meaning that the face/slice preceding it should be turned counter-clockwise, or opposite of the way it is usually turned. 15 Suffix for JSCC whole cube turn notation, meaning a tilt of 15 degrees. 6 edges 4 centers The finishing step for many traditional corners first methods and also Gilles Roux's method. Usually edge orientation, corner orientation, corner permutation, edge permutation, in that order.

4-look Last Layer A primitive last layer approach and the first step to learning Fridrich. Usually refers to the intermediate method to Fridrich, in which orientation is done in two steps (corner edge or edge corner) and permutation is done in one step. 3-look Last Layer Solving the last layer in 3 steps. To cycle (permute in a cyclic manner) 3 pieces. The line is where the slit between the FU edge and the FRU corner goes past that of FU and FLU, and was implemented by Tyson Mao, a board member of WCA, who wrote the official WCA rules. 2-Second Penalty A penalty of 2 seconds given when a cube is put down with 1 layer past the first penalty line, but not past the second line. OLL then PLL and CLL then ELL are the most commonly used such approaches. 2-look Last Layer Solving the last layer in two steps. Suffix meaning that the face/slice preceding it should be turned halfway of a whole turn. Notation in Blindfold Cubing which means that a corner needs to be twisted counter-clockwise.Ģ. Notation in Blindfold Cubing which means that an edge is oriented incorrectly.

Notation in Blindfold Cubing which means that an edge is oriented correctly. Notation in Blindfold Cubing which means that a corner is oriented correctly.Ģ. Thanks to everyone who contributed to this glossary.ġ. (to find out more about items categorized, please visit ). I'd appreciate any help with collecting cube terms and definitions. A lot of the definitions are not complete yet. I believe this to be (as of 2006) the longest list of cube-related terms in English (the longest in any language is probably on Ishino's site). Today, I support the SpeedSolving wiki, where I am a regular contributor.
