2×2

Corner piece: has three different color stickers on it (there are 8 corner pieces in the cube)
Edge piece: has two different color stickers on it (there are 12 edge pieces in the cube)
Center piece: has one color sticker on it (6 center pieces, all are attached to the core)

Rubiks Cube Move notations

• F (front): the front face (facing the solver)
• B (back): the back face (opposite to the front face)
• R (right): the right face
• L (left): the left face (opposite to the right face)
• U (up): the upper face
• D (down): the bottom face (opposite to the upper face)

For example: executing [ F R’ U2 ] in a row looks that way:

A sequence of moves is called an algorithm.

(If you’re having difficulty in finding the CW/C-CW direction of a face (like B or D), temporarily twist the cube so that face will become the F face which is the easiest face to determine the cw/ccw direction.)

Don’t be worried about it, you’ll easily get used to these move notations. Besides, all the algorithms are followed by animations like the one of the last example (only if animations are turned on).

Now you know everything you need to start and learn how to solve a Rubik’s Cube! So, proceed and solve the Rubik’s Cube, for good.. Good Luck!

End of Intro.

How To Use The Rubik’s Cube Solver?

1. Pick a view

Start by selecting the most suitable view for you with the little tabs above the cube. The default 3D view can be customized, setting transparent front faces or you can lift the hidden faces. Rotate the cube with the arrows or swiping the screen.

There are two unfolded views which show each faces which helps setting up the scrambled configuration.

2. Set up the scrambled cube

There are many ways to set the scrambled cube.

The easiest way is to use the color picker. Select a color on the palette then paste it on the surface of the puzzle. Click more than once on a field to deactivate the color palette and cycle through the colors as you keep clicking the fields of the puzzle.

D: Down face clockwise

Do face rotations on the puzzle using the rotation buttons or pressing the corresponding buttons on your keyboard: L, R, U, D, F, B. The capital letters indicate a clockwise rotation of each face: Left, Right, Up, Down, Front, Back. It makes a counterclockwise turn if the letter is followed by an apostrophe.

Execute or play back a scramble algorithm in the allocated input field. Copy-paste the list of letters because the program might execute the rotations as you’re typing them directly in the field. Mark reverse rotations with lowercase letters or single quotation marks (‘).

Make the program generate a random shuffle with the Scramble button or revert to the solved position at any time clicking Reset.

3. Calculate the solution of the Rubik’s Cube

When the scrambled colors are properly configured and are matching your Rubik’s Cube click the Solve command to get the solution. The cube solver will alert you if your configuration is not correct.

Pressing the Solve button will leave the scramble page open and open the solution page in a new browser tab. This will allow you to come back to make adjustments if something is wrong.

The Rubik’s Mini Cube (aka the Pocket Cube) is a simpler version of the original Rubik’s Cube. It is constructed simply from the 8 corner pieces of the Rubik’s Cube while omitting the edge and center pieces, thus having a 2x2x2 layout instead of the familiar 3x3x3 of its older sibling.

This puzzle was actually invented 4 years before the Rubik’s cube, in 1970, by Larry D. Nichols. He called it the «Twist Cube» and used magents for its mechanism. Following the success of the Rubik’s Cube (3x3x3), the Rubik’s Brand (currently owned by Canadian toy corporation Spin Master) patented their own design of this puzzle in 1983 and has been selling it ever since.

Due to its simpler layout and fewer moving parts, the number of possible permutations is relatively low — only 3,674,160. Solving the Rubik’s Mini Cube is equivalent to solving only the corners of the original Rubik’s Cube.

The Rubik’s Mini Cube is an official WCA puzzle, and the current world record for solving it is 0.43 seconds. It was set by Teodor Zajder at the Warsaw Cube Masters 2023.
