Ready to start

The cube will auto-scramble 25 moves, then the timer starts.

Professional Mode Notes

Solved-state detection is based on the true positions and orientations of 27 cubies instead of a superficial sorted-state check. Every move supports animation queues, undo/redo, automation-friendly clock stepping, and text state export.

Game Guide

Rubik's Cube Guide, Rules, and Tips

This is a fully interactive 3D Rubik’s Cube in your browser. The cube scrambles itself, the timer starts, and it is up to you to return every face to a single color. Beginners can follow the built-in layer-by-layer hints, while experienced cubers can race the clock.

How to Play

  • Each face of the cube can be turned a quarter turn at a time.
  • The cube is solved when every face shows only one color.
  • A new game auto-scrambles the cube with a set number of random moves before the timer starts.
  • Your total number of solves is tracked in this browser.

Strategy and Tips

  • Use the beginner method: solve the white cross, then the white corners to finish the first layer.
  • Next, insert the four middle-layer edges.
  • On the last layer, make the yellow cross, position the yellow edges, then position and twist the yellow corners.
  • Learn each algorithm slowly first; speed comes from recognizing cases, not from turning fast.

Controls

KeyboardMouseTouch

Click a face and drag in the direction you want the layer to turn. Drag on empty space to rotate the camera. Layer control buttons and keyboard shortcuts are also available, along with undo.

Background

The Rubik’s Cube was invented in 1974 by Hungarian architecture professor Ernő Rubik as a teaching tool. It has more than 43 quintillion possible positions, yet any of them can be solved in 20 moves or fewer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I learn to solve the cube here?

Yes. The built-in hints follow the layer-by-layer beginner method, from the white cross to twisting the final corners.

How do I turn a layer?

Click on a face and drag. The direction of the drag decides which layer turns and which way.

Why won’t the 3D cube load?

The cube uses WebGL. If it does not appear, enable hardware acceleration in your browser settings or try another browser.
