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 any 3x3 cube with a clear, visual guide built for beginners and experienced cubers. CubeFlow lets you scan your cube with the camera, enter colors manually in 3D or use the flat net, then follow the full solution move by move. Every step can be viewed as a 3D animation, an illustrated gesture or standard cube notation. WHY CUBEFLOW • Scan all six faces with live color detection • Enter or correct stickers in 3D and flat views • Turn rows and columns to explore the cube yourself • Generate an efficient solution for your exact configuration • Follow each move with smooth 3D animations • Switch between gesture cards and cube notation • Tap any step to inspect it and continue from there • Adjust playback speed to learn at your own pace • Keep the current step synchronized across every guide mode MADE TO BE EASY TO FOLLOW No need to memorize algorithms before you begin. CubeFlow shows which layer to turn, in which direction and how many times. Use the visual gesture guide when notation feels unfamiliar, then switch to letters whenever you want to learn the standard language of cubing. CAMERA OR MANUAL INPUT Frame one face at a time and confirm the detected colors, or build the cube manually. Color limits help prevent invalid configurations, and every captured face can be reviewed before solving. PRACTICE, DON’T JUST WATCH The interactive 3D cube also lets you move lines and columns yourself. Try your own solution, test a sequence or use CubeFlow as a training companion. Camera analysis is performed on your device. CubeFlow keeps the experience focused, fast and easy to understand. Scan. Twist. Solve.
