ALGORITHMS

A Rubik's Cube algorithm is represented by a series of letters, numbers, and symbols. Please review the notation guide if you are not familiar with it, as it is essential for understanding the algorithms. Follow the links below to access the relevant algorithm sets.

Notation for Scrambles and Algorithms

Square-1 Scramble and Algorithm Notation

Square-1 Scramble and Algorithm Notation

For official WCA scrambles hold the Square-1 with YELLOW on top and RED front. 

  • (Top, Bottom)
  • Number only = Clockwise turn
  • MINUS prefix = Anti-clockwise turn
  • (1 to 5) = How far to turn (Edge = 1 unit and Corner = 2 units)
  • SLASH = 180 Right rotation
2x2 Scramble and Algorithm Notation

2x2 Scramble and Algorithm Notation

For official scrambles hold the 2 x 2 with WHITE top and GREEN front.

Cube Notation is letters and letter character combinations to describe specific turns on a 2x2 cube, also called a pocket cube. The purpose of notation is to easily describe an algorithm or a scramble.

Skewb Scramble and Algorithm Notation

Skewb Scramble and Algorithm Notation

For official WCA scrambles hold the Skewb with White on top, Green on the Left and Red on the right.  This means the White/Green/Red corner is facing you and will stay in front for the entire scramble.
