hexahedrons

Dice-shaped geometric forms

Hexahedrons is a plural of hexahedron, a three-dimensional shape with six faces.

The most familiar hexahedron is the cube, where all faces are equal squares.

In geometry and crystallography, the term covers any six-faced solid: The dice were perfect hexahedrons.

The Greek-derived plural hexahedra is also used.
