I want to learn OH and would like advice regarding which method to use and where to learn fingertricks for important algs. Right now, I can solve the cube one-handed in about a minute using normal CFOP and a ludicrous 8-look LL (one-handed, I only know two OLL algs, then T-perm and U-perm, so...

This thread is probably on-topic, but as I'm not sure in which forum it fits, I'll post it here to be safe. This is about cubes, but not speedcubing as such. I found this quite interesting and thought some of you might as well! Last year, I set myself a small challenge that became more...

I'm looking for a good smart cube! I've tried a fair number of dumb cubes in recent years, and my favourites are, in rough order of preference: GuHong Pro, Tornado V3, RS3M V5 BC, MGC3 Beta. I like all these cubes. I have also tried some cubes I didn't like, such as GAN 356 M and WeiLong WR M...

Is there any good guide for swapping edges/wings on bigger cubes? I assume this is possible with commutators, but I've never been good at those, not even on 3x3. For example, imagine a 5x5 in the current state (the edge facing away on the left is orange/green; everything else is solved)...

I recently bought a 10x10 and want to use it to display pixel art. I have scrambled and solved the 10x10 once, but I'd rather not do it again, so I'm looking for help with how to think about edge swaps. Moving centre pieces is easy, of course, so if I only needed to use the 8x8 grid ignoring the...

What are the coolest-looking twisty puzzles out there? I'm talking about aesthetically pleasing in design, not how they turn, solve or anything else. Scrambled or solved state are both possible, depending on which you think is coolest. For example, a solved mirror cube is pretty boring, but a...

I learnt BLD from A 3-Cycle Guide to 3x3x3 Blindfold Cubing almost fifteen years ago. I learnt it well enough to consistently memorise and solve the cube in under ten minutes, but I never really tried to go for speed. I also used it to get 2/3 for multi, but never tried that too seriously...

Welcome to my progression thread! I currently focus on learning CFOP after having used Petrus in the ancient past (2000s). I'm also playing around with BLD. Feedback is always welcome and much appreciated! Current goals and personal bests 3BLD (M2/OP) Ao12: 3:30 (current focus) Single: 2:15...

First some background: I’ve been cubing on and off (mostly off) since 2008. I started with Petrus because it was the first method I found, and I also liked the idea of a more intuitive solve with fewer moves. Since then, I’ve learnt the basics of CFOP, Heise (for fewest moves), and BLD. I’ve...

Hi! First some background: I've been cubing for a while now and even though I've learnt some other methods, I still use Petrus for F2L + EO, which gives me just a few OLL cases and then full PLL, which I know. With this, my best average is roughly 27 seconds. I feel that what I need to...
