About Rubik's Cube solver

Paint the colours of each face of your scrambled 3 by 3 cube and the solver returns a short sequence of moves. Moves use standard notation: R, L, U, D, F and B turn a face clockwise, a prime mark turns it back, and 2 means a half turn.

How to use Rubik's Cube solver

  1. Hold your cube with a fixed centre colour on each face.
  2. Paint each square on the screen with the colour you see on your cube.
  3. Press solve and follow the short list of moves, one step at a time.

Frequently asked questions

Why does it say my cube is invalid?

Usually a colour was entered wrongly, since each colour must appear exactly nine times. A cube taken apart and rebuilt wrongly can also be unsolvable, so recheck every face.

How should I hold the cube while following moves?

Keep the same orientation you used when entering colours, with the same face toward you and the same face on top. A different grip changes what each letter means.

What do the move letters mean?

Each letter turns one face a quarter turn clockwise, such as U for up and R for right. A prime mark means anticlockwise and a 2 means a half turn.
