speedcube
Competition twisty puzzle
A speedcube is a Rubik's cube or similar twisting puzzle designed for fast solving.
Unlike standard cubes, speedcubes have smoother mechanisms, corner-cutting ability, and adjustable tension to allow rapid manipulation: My new speedcube shaved three seconds off my solve time.
The verb speedcube means to practice competitive puzzle solving.
