Learn to solve the Rubik's Cube — for real, on your own cube's exact scramble, one guided move at a time. LEARN Follow a stage-by-stage tutorial (White Cross, White Corners, Middle Layer, Finish) that shows you exactly which move comes next, with a one-tap "Show Me" demonstration whenever you're stuck. Practice any single stage on its own, or work through a full solve start to finish. PRACTICE Once you know the moves, put them to the test. Scramble the cube — or just shake your phone — race against the clock, and use Hints if you get stuck. Every solve is tracked: best time, fewest moves, and your full history. MOVES Drill individual moves until they're second nature. Build a streak, beat your best, and get faster one twist at a time. AUTO-SOLVE Twist the cube into any mixed-up mess and watch it solve itself, stage by stage, at whatever speed you choose. Always free. CHALLENGE A FRIEND Send a friend the exact same scramble you just solved and see who's faster. Invite friends to unlock an exclusive color theme for you both. STATS Track your best times, move counts, streaks, and total solves across every mode, all in one place. Practice, Learn, and Moves unlock with a 7-day free trial, then continue with a low-cost monthly or annual subscription — or unlock everything forever with a one-time purchase.

Speed Cube Puzzle

Features
Read full description

A twisty cube puzzle you turn with your finger. Two sizes: 2x2 and 3x3. TURN IT DIRECTLY Swipe a sticker in the direction you want that layer to go and the layer follows your finger - no notation to memorise. Drag outside the cube to turn the view instead. The view rotates freely in any direction, so you can look at the back and the bottom. Press and hold the cube to snap the view back to the start. THE SOLVING GUIDE IS IN THE APP Step-by-step instructions for whichever size you picked: seven layer-by-layer steps for the 3x3 and three steps for the 2x2, each with the algorithms you need. Every algorithm also shows a diagram of the starting shape and where each piece moves. STUCK? ASK FOR A HINT - OR LET THE APP SOLVE IT The hint reads which stage your cube is in and shows the moves to play next. Tap "Play it" and the app plays them for you. Tap Auto and the app keeps taking hints and solves the cube slowly, so you can follow along. Solves where you used a hint or Auto are not added to your records. RECORDS The app times your solve, counts your moves and keeps a personal best for each cube size on your device. The timer starts on your first turn and stops the moment the cube is solved. FREE WITH ADS A banner sits at the bottom of the game screen, and a full-screen ad appears once every three solves, when you move on to the next puzzle. Ads never cover the cube while you are solving or your result when you finish. No in-app purchases and no sign-up. Your records stay on your device. Available in Korean and English.
