Wurfel turns a scrambled cube back into a solved one — and shows you every move along the way. Scan and solve the 2×2 (Pocket Cube), the classic 3×3, and the 4×4 (Rubik's Revenge). Point your camera at each of the six faces and Wurfel reads the colors for you. Prefer to enter it by hand? Pick a color and tap it onto any square of a glossy 3D cube you can spin in any direction. Tap Solve and watch the solution play out move by move, with smooth 3D animations and plain-language steps like "rotate the right face clockwise." Free to download, with your first two solves on the house. No accounts. No ads. No internet required. Just you and your cube. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Solve three cube sizes — the 2×2 Pocket Cube, the 3×3, and the 4×4 Rubik's Revenge • Scan your cube with the camera — a guided, six-face flow walks you through it • Or enter it by hand — pick a color and tap it onto each square of a free-spinning 3D cube • Get a complete, step-by-step solution in seconds • Watch each move animate in 3D, with clear text descriptions • Play the whole solution or step forward and back at your own pace • A smart color palette flags mistakes before you solve BUILT TO BE SIMPLE Wurfel validates your cube as you go, dims colors once they're fully placed, and warns you if a color is over-used — so you enter your cube correctly the first time. When everything checks out, the Solve button lights up. WORKS EVERYWHERE • Fully offline — solve anywhere, even with no signal • iPhone and iPad, in light or dark mode • No sign-up, no subscription, no tracking Whether you've never solved a cube or you just want to reset a scramble fast, Wurfel gets you from mixed-up to solved — one clear step at a time. FREE TO TRY, ONE PRICE TO KEEP Wurfel is free to download, and your first two solves are free — camera scanning, 3D playback, every cube size, nothing held back. After that, a single one-time purchase unlocks every solve for good. No subscription, no ads, no second bill, ever. Replaying or resuming a cube you already solved never uses up a free solve.

Read full description

Solve My Cube is a local solver for physical 3x3 and 2x2 cubes. Scan the faces with the camera, import photos, or enter stickers manually, then review the detected colors before solving. The app validates the cube state before generating a solution. 3x3 validation includes color counts, centers, pieces, orientation, and parity; 2x2 uses corner-state checks. Solutions run locally on device and are shown as standard move notation with step-by-step playback. Designed for a stuck cube, not speed training: local processing, no ads, no subscription, and clear purchase options after three free successful solves. Features: - 3x3 and 2x2 support. - Guided camera scan with manual review before solving. - Photo import and manual full-entry fallback. - Physical cube-state validation before a solve is generated. - Local 3x3 and 2x2 solvers with standard move notation. - Step-by-step solution playback. - Three free successful solves, then solve-pack credits or Lifetime Unlimited.
