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.

Solve My Cube turns a scrambled Rubik's Cube into a clear, animated solution you can actually follow — no memorizing algorithms, no confusing notation. Point your camera at each face and the colors are detected for you. Prefer to type it in? Paint the cube net sticker by sticker. Either way, you get a step-by-step 3D walkthrough that shows exactly which face to turn and which way — at your own pace. WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT • Smart camera scan — capture all six faces, colors detected automatically • Manual entry — paint the cube by hand when you'd rather not use the camera • Animated 3D solution — watch every move play out on a rotating cube • Plain-English steps — "Turn the front face counter-clockwise," not just cryptic letters • Move notation too — R, U, F' and more for when you want it • Playback controls — slow down to 0.5×, speed up, step forward/back, or replay • Shuffle & solve — no cube on hand? Scramble a virtual one and watch it solve • Beautiful dark & light themes • Fast, private, and fully on-device FREE. NO ADS. NO ACCOUNT. No sign-ups, no subscriptions, no interruptions — just open it and solve. Whether you're solving your first cube or shaving seconds off your time, Solve My Cube makes every turn make sense.
