Blindfolded solving (abbreviated BLD) is the discipline of memorizing the position a puzzle is in, and then solving it without looking at it again. The times for these events must include both the memorization stage and the solving ('execution') stage.

Blindfolds are used to block a cuber's vision during blindsolving.
