What is uwr

Unofficial World Record
Basically the best time someone has EVER gotten in a given event. This can be at home or in unofficial competition
There is another term called YTUWR which means the fastest time that has been recorded and posted on YouTube; these tend to be slightly slower than the actual UWR

what is the difference between UWR and WB

Pretty sure there is no real answer and they are often used interchangeably, but I like to think of a UWR as an unofficial result that is better than the WR and of a WB as the best result ever gotten.

Another difference is that unofficial records of non-WCA events (like megaBLD or FTO) are rarely ever called UWR, instead calling them WB’s

Yea I feel this is the best one, like UWR is only for the events that there is also a WR, you can't say it's unofficial when there is no official

I think the term UWR and WB mean the same thing, it's just that these days WB is more commonly used

WB is just better IMO

good going but

I bet ==> ap <== can beat that easily, since his UWR for 17x17 is under 39 minutes

and he did a 13x13 One-Handed in under 44 minutes

The angle is kinda hard to tell but it might have been solved before you even started the timer. At most like 1cm off

The real answer is there's no difference. A few years ago a bunch of YouTubers decided they didn't like the term "UWR" because it implied something about competition conditions? I don't remember. But they pushed their own term that means exactly the same thing, and now there's a weird confusion about it. UWRs/WBs never required video proof, verification, competition conditions, or anything like that and they still don't. Maybe they should though
