Hold your Cube as shown below, Press "Next" to start.
Paint your physical cube's current state onto the 3D model, hit Solve, and follow the step-by-step instructions to reach a solved state. Here's everything you need to know.
Use the color palette in the top-right corner to select a color. The 6 standard Rubik's Cube colors are available: White, Yellow, Red, Orange, Blue, and Green. Click any swatch to activate it.
Click on any tile of the 3D cube to paint it with the selected color. Use the rotation arrows at the bottom to spin the cube and reach all 6 faces. Make sure every tile is painted to match your physical cube's current scrambled state exactly.
Each color must appear exactly 9 times across all faces (once per tile). The center tile of each face determines that face's color β make sure all 6 centers are different colors. Rotate the cube and double-check before solving.
Press the Solve! button. The solver will validate your cube, compute an optimal solution, and switch to playback mode. Follow each move instruction β hold your real cube in the orientation shown on screen and press Next to advance through the steps. Press Back if you need to review a previous move.
The standard Rubik's Cube color scheme. Each face has a fixed center color.
Our 3Γ3 solver uses the Kociemba two-phase algorithm, one of the most efficient algorithms for solving the Rubik's Cube. It computes near-optimal solutions β typically 20 moves or fewer β in under a second. The algorithm works by first reducing the cube to a simpler subgroup, then solving it completely.
The 3Γ3Γ3 Rubik's Cube is the world's most iconic puzzle, invented in 1974 by ErnΕ Rubik. It has 43,252,003,274,489,856,000 (43 quintillion) possible states, yet any scramble can be solved in 20 moves or fewer β a limit known as God's Number. The cube consists of 26 visible pieces: 8 corners, 12 edges, and 6 fixed centers. The current world record for a single solve is 2.76 seconds.
