Read full description

Learn to solve the Rubik's Cube — for real, on your own cube's exact scramble, one guided move at a time. LEARN Follow a stage-by-stage tutorial (White Cross, White Corners, Middle Layer, Finish) that shows you exactly which move comes next, with a one-tap "Show Me" demonstration whenever you're stuck. Practice any single stage on its own, or work through a full solve start to finish. PRACTICE Once you know the moves, put them to the test. Scramble the cube — or just shake your phone — race against the clock, and use Hints if you get stuck. Every solve is tracked: best time, fewest moves, and your full history. MOVES Drill individual moves until they're second nature. Build a streak, beat your best, and get faster one twist at a time. AUTO-SOLVE Twist the cube into any mixed-up mess and watch it solve itself, stage by stage, at whatever speed you choose. Always free. CHALLENGE A FRIEND Send a friend the exact same scramble you just solved and see who's faster. Invite friends to unlock an exclusive color theme for you both. STATS Track your best times, move counts, streaks, and total solves across every mode, all in one place. Practice, Learn, and Moves unlock with a 7-day free trial, then continue with a low-cost monthly or annual subscription — or unlock everything forever with a one-time purchase. Auto-Solve, Stats, and Settings are always free; no purchase required.
