About Rubiks Cube

The Rubik's Cube has been the world's best-selling puzzle since Ernő Rubik invented it in 1974, and it's a natural fit for a browser: a 3D cube you can rotate freely, scramble with a click, and solve with the mouse. A timer records how long you take.

There are 43 quintillion possible arrangements and every one of them can be solved in twenty moves or fewer — the famous 'God's number'. Learning to do it yourself takes an afternoon with a layer-by-layer method and a lifetime to do quickly.

Rubiks Cube tips

• Learn the beginner's layer-by-layer method first; speed methods only make sense once you can solve it at all.
• Solve the white cross without algorithms — it's intuitive once you look for it.
• The middle-layer algorithm and its mirror are the only two you need to memorise to get most of the way.
• Turn the whole cube rather than reaching around it; keeping the same face toward you avoids mistakes.
