Actually, no. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexahedron for more. A hexahedron isn't always a cube, but a cube is certainly a hexahedron. Thanks for the comment though!

Although gnat79 is correct, I think you should still accept hexahedron: the word "regular" is assumed in all the other answers, so it would be consistent. Not all tetrahedra are regular, so should you disallow "tetrahedron" by the same logic?
