Stuck on a twisty puzzle? Kipton's Cube Solver walks you through it, one clear step at a time. Enter the colors of your real, mixed-up cube and the app shows you exactly how to solve it in plain, friendly language, with each move drawn right on a 3-D model. No confusing notation to memorize: you see the piece to move, an arrow showing where it goes, and a short explanation of why. Tap "Show me" to watch the turn, or follow along at your own pace. It's built to teach, not just to answer. Learn It mode explains the method stage by stage, so over time you can solve the cube yourself. In a hurry? Shortest mode finds a fast solution instead. And there's more than solving: • Play — scramble a 3-D puzzle and twist it with your finger, with a hint whenever you're stuck. • Pattern Studio — design a fun pattern (or pick a starter like Spark, Orbit, or Zigzag) and the app coaches you through making it on your real cube. Seven puzzles included so far: • 3x3 Cube — the classic, taught in 7 friendly parts • 2x2 Pocket Cube — great for beginners • 4x4 Cube — the next big step up • Megaminx — the twelve-sided dodecahedron • Skewb Ultimate — a corner-twisting challenge • Floppy Cube — one flat layer, perfect for little hands • Falling Blocks Cube — a colorful twist on the 3x3 Made for all ages and every skill level — from a curious kid solving their first cube to a speedcuber exploring patterns. Because you enter your own cube's exact colors, the steps always match the puzzle in your hands. Why you'll like it: • Clear, step-by-step solutions in everyday words • Animated 3-D moves with on-model arrows • Learn mode that teaches, plus a quick-solve mode • Free play with finger-driven turning • Pattern Studio with real designs that are always possible to make • Great on both iPhone and iPad • Large-text and reduced-motion accessibility support • Completely free — no ads, no accounts, no tracking Made with love by Kipton (age 9) and his dad.
