Rubik's Cube Solver & Guide (also known as Tutorial for Rubik's Cube) is a free iOS and Android app that turns the world's most famous puzzle into something you can master in a single afternoon. Instead of memorizing 50-page PDFs or rewinding YouTube videos, you learn by doing: clear, interactive 3D lessons walk you through every single move.
Whether you're picking up a Rubik's Cube for the very first time or chasing a new speedcubing personal best, the app guides you the whole way — from your first solve to advanced patterns and timed practice.
What's inside
- Interactive 3D tutorials — learn the cube step by step through 7 carefully designed stages, with every move animated in 3D. No experience needed.
- Instant auto-solver — stuck on a scramble? Paint your cube's colors onto the on-screen cube and get the exact, move-by-move solution in seconds.
- 3D practice mode — spin a virtual cube with auto-generated scrambles and build real solving skills without wearing out your physical cube.
- Speedcubing timer — official-style scrambles, full solve history, and personal-best tracking so you can watch yourself get faster.
- 15+ cube patterns — learn to create Checkerboard, Superflip, Tetris and more show-stopping designs.
- Notation guide — F, B, U, D, R, L finally make sense, with animated demos for every move and combination.
Built for beginners and speedcubers alike
The 7-stage beginner method means a total first-timer can complete a solve today. As you improve, the practice mode and professional timer help you cut your solve times and build muscle memory. An animated coach, levels, badges and daily streaks keep you motivated along the way.
Works everywhere, completely free
The app is free to download with no account required, works fully offline so you can practice on a plane or the subway, and is available in 36 languages (including right-to-left languages).
