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.
Cube Solver AI

Completely free. No in-app purchases, no subscription, no paid tier, no account — every feature described below is simply there when you open the app. Point your camera at each face and Cube Solver AI reads the colours for you, then walks you through the solution one turn at a time, with the layer actually rotating on screen. SCAN WITH YOUR CAMERA A neural network trained for colour constancy runs entirely on your device, so it copes with warm lamps, cold daylight, and the glare that makes white and yellow look alike. A live overlay shows exactly which colour it reads on every sticker while you hold the cube, so you can see it working before you commit. FIX ANYTHING IT GETS WRONG Detection is never perfect on every cube in every light. Tap any sticker on the 3D cube or the flat net to repaint it, with undo and redo throughout. Stickers the model was unsure about are highlighted, so you know where to look first. SOLUTIONS YOU CAN ACTUALLY FOLLOW Every step names the move, describes it in plain words, and animates the layer swinging on the cube, which is far more useful than a line of notation. Step back and forth freely, jump to any move, or hand it to auto-solve and just watch the cube unscramble itself. Choose slow, normal or fast, and let the camera follow the turning face or stay put. 3x3, 4x4 AND 5x5 The 3x3 uses a two-phase search that finds solutions of around 20 moves. Larger cubes are solved by reduction: centres first, then edge pairing, then the 3x3 finish, including the parity cases that only appear on even cubes. FREE, PRIVATE, OFFLINE The neural network and the solver both run on your iPhone, so your photos never leave the device and nothing is collected about you. It works with no signal at all.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Cube Solver AI at none against Wurfel's 1. On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
