Use this application to play with the Rubik's Cube online. Hit the Scramble button and try to figure out the solution yourself rotating the faces with the buttons or with your keyboard.

The app is using the open-source Kociemba algorithm to find the solution in 20 steps for any valid scramble. For slower computers the program automatically reduces the computing performance to return a little longer solution.

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.

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.

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 (').

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.

The method presented here divides the cube into layers and you can solve each layer applying a given algorithm not messing up the pieces already in place. You can find a separate page for each one of the seven stages if the description on this page needs further explanation and examples.

Watch the cube being solved layer-by-layer with this method:
It fixes the white edges, corners then flips the cube to solve the second layer and finally completes the yellow face.

If you get stuck or you don't understand something, the online Rubik's Cube solver program will help you quickly fix your puzzle. All you have to do is input your scramble and the program will calculate the steps leading to the solution.

Use this stage to familiarize yourself with the puzzle and see how far you can get without help. This step is relatively intuitive because there are no solved pieces to watch out for. Just practice and don't give up easily. Try move the white edges to their places not messing up the ones already fixed.

In this step we have to arrange the white corner pieces to finish the first face. If you are very persistent and you managed to do the white cross without help then you can try to do this one as well. If you don't have patience I'll give you some clue.

Twist the bottom layer so that one of the white corners is directly under the spot where it's supposed to go on the top layer. Now, do one of the three algorithms according to the orientation of the piece, aka. in which direction the white sticker is facing. If the white corner piece is where it belongs but turned wrong then first you have to pop it out.

Until this point the procedure was pretty straight forward but from now on we have to use algorithms. We can forget the completed white face so let's turn the cube upside down to focus on the unsolved side.

In this step we are completing the first two layers (F2L). There are two symmetric algorithms we have to use in this step. They're called the Right and Left algorithms. These algorithms insert the Up-Front edge piece from the top layer to the middle layer while not messing up the solved white face.
If none of the pieces in the top layer are already lined up like in the images below, then turn the top layer until one of the edge pieces in the top layer matches one of the images below. Then follow the matching algorithm for that orientation.

After making the yellow cross on the top of the cube you have to put the yellow edge pieces on their final places to match the colors of the side center pieces. Switch the front and left yellow edges with the following algorithm:

All pieces are on their right places you just have to orient the yellow corners to finish the puzzle. This proved to be the most confusing step so read the instructions and follow the steps carefully.

Turn the top layer only to move another unsolved yellow piece to the front-right-top corner of the cube and do the same R' D' R D again until this specific piece is ok. Be careful not to move the two bottom layers between the algorithms and never rotate the whole cube!

The solver uses client side scripts and is functional in most common web browsers without any additional extension. If the program doesn't respond please make sure that scripts are enabled on your browser. For iPhone, Android or other mobile users with a small screen resolution the program automatically switches to a smaller view to fit your device. The site uses cookies to enhance the user experience.

You have to set the colors of your scrambled cube, press the Solve button and the program will show you the steps (rotations) needed to get it fixed. There are three different views to choose from, select the one you like the most.

The program is working with any color scheme which uses these six colors: white, red, blue, orange, green, and yellow. It doesn't matter if the colors are not in this order on your cube because the program automatically determines the color settings according to the middle pieces. Unfortunately only a layer-by-layer solution is available if your cube is not using the classic color scheme.

There are many ways to set up the scrambled cube. You can pick a color on the palette, then paste it on one of the fields. You can also do multiple clicks on a field to change its color. Generate a random scramble, and reset the cube to the solved position with the Reset button. Apply any basic rotation by clicking on one of the permutation buttons or by pressing the corresponding buttons on your keyboard: R, L, U, D, F and B. Drag a field with your mouse and rotate in the desired direction. Under the permutation buttons you can see the description of each button to help you understand what they mean.

After you set a valid scramble you can try to solve it online using the rotation buttons, or click the Solve button and the program will show you the solution. Please be patient because depending on your internet connection and computer configuration this can take a while. When the program finds the steps it might ask you to reorient the puzzle in your hands because it will always solve the cube starting from the bottom layer.

Please double check your puzzle when the solver says Invalid scramble. You might have swapped one or more pieces. Go back to the scramble page and try to find the problem. If the program throws this error many times in a row then your cube might have been assembled in an unsolvable configuration. In this case you have to take it apart and build it in the solved state.

After the orientation is right go ahead and apply the rotations given by the online Rubik's Cube solver. Respect the initial orientation, and make all the rotations right because if you miss one or make a wrong turn you end up with a scrambled cube. Be careful with the double turns which mean a 180 degree turn of a face. These are marked with x2. You can play back the solution with the desired speed or click through the steps one by one any time you want. If you don't understand what the letters mean then click on them to see the illustration. For this to work you have to activate the Animate rotations feature with the allocated checkbox. You might also find useful the Rubik's Cube Notation page where you can find a detailed explanation about what the letters mean in the solution algorithm. A YouTube video is also available to demonstrate the operation of this program.

The online Rubik's Cube image generator could create jpg, png and gif pictures but now its simplified version is creating only .svg files. Another useful feature of this online application is that you can save the scrambled cube as an image in svg format with a few clicks. To give this a try click the Generate Image button. Once the picture is generated you have to close and open it again if you make changes to the configuration.

So I'm currently building a Rubik's Cube robot solver that uses computer vision to detect the state of the cube via a python script and feeds that state into the kociemba algorithm which returns the required turns to solve the cube.

My question is regarding the setup of the system, my idea is that I want everything to run off the same power supply. That means the Arduino, Rasp Pi, 6 stepper motors, LCD screen, and an Adafruit RGBW Neopixel LED Strip (2M, 30 LEDs/M) to use for aiding the webcams in the color detection of the cube.
