About Scrambled

The Problem

Misscrambles are a growing problem in competitive speed cubing. In Q1 2025 alone, the WCA Regulations Committee resolved over 100 competition incidents. At Worlds 2025 in Seattle, a misscramble in the Clock finals changed the podium results, costing a competitor $750.

Current verification is entirely manual — scramblers visually compare the cube to a printed diagram. Under time pressure, this fails constantly.

How Scrambled Works

  1. Enter the scramble notation from your scorecard
  2. The app computes exactly what every facelet should look like
  3. Compare the 2D diagram to your physical cube
  4. Confirm the scramble is correct before you solve

Standard Color Scheme

The standard Western/BOY color scheme used in WCA competitions:

White (U) opposite Yellow (D)
Red (R) opposite Orange (L)
Green (F) opposite Blue (B)

Notation Guide

R = Right CW
R' = Right CCW
R2 = Right 180°
U = Up CW
U' = Up CCW
U2 = Up 180°
F = Front CW
F' = Front CCW
F2 = Front 180°
D = Down CW
D' = Down CCW
D2 = Down 180°
L = Left CW
L' = Left CCW
L2 = Left 180°
B = Back CW
B' = Back CCW
B2 = Back 180°
