Solve your Rubik's cube in a few taps, 100% offline, then learn to solve it yourself. The solver runs right on your phone. No internet, no waiting for a server: scan the cube on a plane, on the subway or anywhere without signal and get the moves in seconds. For big cubes there is also the Pro solver: it asks our online solver too, tuned for 4x4, 5x5 and 6x6, and keeps whichever solution is shorter. SOLVER • Fully offline: 2x2, 3x3, 4x4, 5x5 and 6x6 are all solved on your phone • A 3x3 is solved in about 20 moves, as short as our online solver or shorter • Pro solver for 4x4, 5x5 and 6x6: offline and online together, the shorter solution wins (a 5x5 drops from about 100 moves to about 80) • Scan each face with your camera, or paint the colors by hand • Every move is shown on a 3D cube with arrows, one move at a time • Play it at your own speed, or step back when you get lost LEARN • Beginner method in 7 steps: no notation or long algorithms needed • CFOP method: cross, F2L, OLL and PLL • Guides for the 2x2, 4x4, 5x5 and bigger cubes • Finger tricks shown by 3D hands, finger by finger • Cube notation made simple: read moves like R U R' • Pictures you can try in 3D in every lesson PRACTICE • Virtual cube from 2x2 up to 20x20 • A coach that shows your next move, by the beginner method or CFOP • Timer for your real cube, with scrambles, best time and averages of 5 and 12 • 214 patterns to make, from the Superflip to the Checkerboard, 3x3 up to 7x7 • Theme editor to give your cube your own colors In 18 languages: English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Russian, Turkish, Indonesian, Hindi, Bengali, Punjabi, Vietnamese, Thai, Japanese, Korean, Simplified and Traditional Chinese.
