Notation Guides

New to algorithm notation? Start with our notation guides below to master the letter and symbol system used across all our tutorials. Understanding notation is essential for learning and executing algorithms effectively. It's also good to learn how to scramble your Rubik's cube properly for official solves, as correct scrambling ensures fair competition and accurate timing.

How to Scramble your Rubik's Cube

5x5 Scramble and Algorithm Notation

Cube Notation is letters and letter character combinations to describe specific turns on a 5x5 . The purpose of notation is to easily describe an algorithm or a scramble.

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

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.
