square 1

i'm making a document for basic square-1 solving i'm making images for every cubeshape, and i'm giving each shape names, but there are 2 shapes I haven't been able to name those are 1-2-3 and 5-3 (both on the bottom) Does anyone have names for these?

My name is Logan McClure. I have been cubing since august of 2023 and started competing in october of 2024. I am a square-1 main and I avg low 8 to high 7 using around 60% of csp, some obls, and a few of 2alg pbls (as of november 2025).

This thread is for Square-1 solvers who stumbled on difficult situations using JQ or Advanced JQ I'll try my best to answer all of the questions presented if the question is about the method I hope all of cubers to find the best method! Resources: JQ method Speedsolving wiki Advanced JQ Article

I hope this will help you solve faster! For the algorithms, checkout linked sites on Advanced JQ Wiki Page

Poll: What Square-1 Colour Scheme Do You Use

On this thread, anyone can solve square-1 but only using JQ Method or Advanced JQ You can find them on speedsolving wiki JQ Method Advanced JQ For solve diagnosis: I use the format below to write down how I recognize each parts SFFB: Top parts / Bottom parts Number which the part placed...

I hope this will help the information P.S. I'll do the guide video for Advanced JQ around first week of the new year

I hope this will help the community

Hi, this is Jack Triton Recently, I bought mf8 Square-1 and got around 20 seconds with this method (which I would never been able to reach with Vandenbergh) I call this method JQ method last week, got no reactions so I dig up and find several problems Now I can say this method is fully...

Hi, I'm Jack Triton. Recently, I started solving various puzzles such as FTO, Master Skewb and Square-1 When I look up the method called Lin, I notice that it can be much easier if you separate U edges and DB DF edges to 2 part I'll explain how to do it on this article JQ Method CSP, Cube...

EI wanted to know if there is any website or PDF about the screw method for advanced square1,Because I thought of intermediate and advanced variants for the screw method.

Time for another OreKehStrah resource drop. I genned this several months ago and sent in the square-1 server, but forgot to put on here and other places for people outside the server. This alg set is for the Lin method as the title says. The way it works is that the solver would have the option...

I am having trouble making a 6-pointed star on Squan. Is there anyway to do it faster than intuitive?

I have many goals this year. But one of then is to make a good average for square one, but there is only one thing: I average around 50 seconds which is 15-25 seconds late for cutoff. Ill be posting my good times and practices here. I use my own scramble as i am slow with scrambling

Hi! After a while I'm finally making one of these, I will be practicing every WCA event (except BLD events 3x3 BLD and MBLD have a small chance) I just got my 5x5-7x7, square 1, and clock so I don't know how to do every puzzle (I just need 7x7 and square-1) nor do I have an ao5 for everything...

This thread already exists and I didn't notice. Sorry for my actions.

This is an epic video detailing the best square one out there that you should totally buy! Check out my video below and totally consider subscribing!

Hey everyone, I created this thread to just to keep up with my cubing updates + getting tips from you guys Current Average: - 2x2: Sub-4 - 3x3: Sub-15 My main goals: - 3x3: Sub-10 (For now, atleast) - 2x2: Sub - 2 (Probably break NR Average) - 4x4: Sub - 1 Minute Personal Bests...

Hi. So this thread is going to be about trying to develop a Lin approach that both lowers the amount of algs needed for CSP ( either for people that don't like algs or who want an easier transition to full CSP ) and allows earlier implementation of PLL+1. This would be a 2 part approach. Part...

Hi, today I hot Square-1 from Yuxin Little Magic(Magnetic). But cube fells really tight, when I move layer described as / (vertical move) it moves perfectly, but horizontal layers are hard to move. And I didnt see ant regulation screws anywhere. Can I do something with this (where are the...
