What is Rubik's Cube Solver?
Rubik's Cube Solver takes the colours of your scrambled cube and works out how to solve it. You paint the stickers onto a 3D cube on screen, or show each face to your webcam or phone camera, then press Solve and follow the moves one by one.
It uses Herbert Kociemba's two-phase algorithm, which runs in your browser and usually finds a solution of 20 moves or fewer. It also spots impossible cubes, such as a flipped edge or twisted corner. The site doubles as a virtual cube you can scramble and turn, has solvers for the 2x2, 4x4 and Pyraminx, and a beginner's guide if you want to learn to solve it yourself.
