Cube Notations
Cube notations for the 2x2!!
Single Layer Turn
Parts of a cube!
Up (U)
Down (D)
Right (R)
Left(L)
Front(F)
Back(B)
There are a total of 6 basic cube notations for the 2×2
3×3 rubix cube.
- Up (U) – Down (D)
- Right (R) – Left (L)
- Front(F) – Back (B)
Center Pieces
Edge Pieces
Corner Pieces
Cube notations for the 3x3!!
Refer to the image source given below for a better understanding of the notations:
A single letter represents a 90-degree clockwise turn of that face. An apostrophe (e.g., U’) indicates a 90-degree counterclockwise turn, and a number 2 (e.g., U2) indicates a 180-degree turn.
Face Turn
The basic moves are Up, Down, Right, Left, Front,Back.
Each move means to turn that side clockwise,,as if you were facing that side.
Wide Moves
Cube Rotations
Cube rotations are written as x,y,z.
x follows the R directions, y follows the U direction,z follows the F direction
Slice Moves
Slice moves are written as M, E, S, Slice moves only turn the middle layer.
M follows the L directions, E follows the D direction,S follows the F direction

Cube notations for the Skewb Cube!!
Structure
A Skewd consist of 8 corners and 6 square center pieces
Center Pieces
Corner Pieces
Algorithm
Letter+ Turn 120 counterclockwise
Solving Placement
Unlike solving placement of 3×3 which the face is in the front. solving a Skewb is to turn the corner and the skewb should be placed with corners facing you
