Magic Cube

How to play

1. 1

   Turn layers with your fingers

   Drag any sticker to turn that layer; drag the dark background to orbit around the cube. On touch screens, one finger turns and orbits the same way.

2. 2

   Scramble and race the clock

   Hit Scramble for a fresh 22-move shuffle. The timer starts on your first turn and stops the moment the cube is solved. Your best time is stored on this device only.

3. 3

   Enter someone else's scramble

   Have a scramble from a competition or a friend? Paste the sequence, press Apply, and this cube lands in the exact same state. Then race it, or ask for help.

4. 4

   Ask the solver when stuck

   Solve runs Kociemba's two-phase algorithm: it compresses the cube's 4.3 quintillion states into a two-billion-state subgroup and searches in two passes. You get a solution of at most ~20 moves. Follow it step by step, or watch the auto play.
