Owen Wood

2×2 · top 56.7% of 186,767 all-time · competing since December 2023 · 2023WOOD36

Owen Wood has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 6.57, set at Utah State University Fall 2025, puts him in the top 56.7% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 23,183rd in the United States. Across 5 competitions since December 2023, he has put 51 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 41.62 in December 2023 to 37.08, an 11% improvement. Owen has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% of everyone who has ever competed.

The story so far

Competitions

Reading this page: a single is one solve's time · an average is the middle three of five solves, best and worst discarded · a PB is a personal best · a DNF (did not finish) is an attempt with no valid result: a popped piece, an unsolved face, an over-limit memorisation · top X% compares against everyone ever ranked in that event, which is fairer than raw rank because event pools differ tenfold.
