speedcubing is the art of solving a Rubik's Cube as fast as possible. Solving here means the cube is scrambled and you use algorithms to make the cube have each face 1 single color. Rubik's cubes come in variations of 3x3x3, 4x4x4 and 5x5x5.

Here are some definitions generally used by the community. This community was started by Chris Hardwick. See also Ron van Bruchem's website, which holds the unofficial world records.

F2L - First Two Layers

F2L Method - a method which does First and Second layer in 1 step

LL - Last Layer

X Look - number of algorithms needed for the last layer, e.g. 4 Look

Move - A turn or double turn of one of the six colored sides

Prime - A counter clock wise move, e.g. R Prime (or R-, R', R-1)

Algorithm - predefined sequence of moves

Method - combination of algorithms that can be used to solve a cube

Piece - one of the 20 detachable little cubies

Edge piece - one of the 12 edges

Corner piece - one of the 8 corners

Center - one of the six centers

Orient - flip pieces so they turn 'in-place'

OLL - orient last layer

PLL - permute last layer

Permute - swap or caroussel 2 or more pieces

PB - Personal best (time to solve a cube)
