Face directions, photo input and what to check before pressing Solve.

READ THE MOVES

Learn the six face letters, clockwise turns and the difference between R′ and R2.

Choose your cube. Each guide has checkpoints and animations you can pause.

3×3 · BEGINNER

Build a white cross, finish the layers and handle the last corners.

2×2 · BEGINNER

Build a layer, place the remaining corners and turn yellow upward.

A wrong color or a sideways face can look like an impossible cube.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Compare misplaced colors, flipped edges and twisted corners before changing anything on your real cube.
