How does Rubiks Cube Solver work?

You enter your scrambled cube into the app — either by scanning each face with the camera or by tapping the colours in manually. The app reads that cube configuration, works out a short list of moves, and then guides you through those moves one at a time until the cube is solved.

How do I scan a Rubik's Cube with the app?

Open the camera scanner and hold one face of the cube inside the on-screen frame until the colours are detected. Repeat for all six faces, then check the detected colours and correct any square that was read wrongly before solving.

Can I enter the cube colours manually?

Yes. Manual input lets you tap each square and choose its colour on a virtual cube, which is useful in poor lighting or when your cube has unusual colours or worn stickers.

How does the app generate a solution?

Once all six faces are entered, the app checks that the cube configuration is valid and then produces a short sequence of moves that takes your cube from its current state to solved.

How do I follow the solving steps?

The solution is shown as a list of single moves. Perform one move, move on to the next, and go back a step if you lose your place. Turning the cube to match the on-screen view makes each move easier to read.

Do I need an internet connection to solve a cube?

No. Solving works offline, so you can use the app without a connection.

How Rubik's Cube Solver Works

From a scrambled cube to a solved one in a few clear steps.

Rubiks Cube Solver works in five simple steps. You show the app the cube you have — by scanning each face with the camera or entering the colours manually — and the app works out a short set of moves for that exact scramble. From there you follow the moves on screen, one at a time, until the cube is solved. Solving happens on your device, so it keeps working offline.

Step 1

1. Scan or Enter Your Cube

Open Rubik's Cube Solver and point the camera at each face of your scrambled cube. If scanning is not convenient — poor light, worn stickers or an unusual colour scheme — switch to manual input and tap the colours in yourself.

2. The App Analyzes Your Cube

Once every face is entered, the app reads your cube configuration and checks that it is a valid, solvable cube. If something looks wrong you can go back and correct a face before solving.

Invalid or incomplete cubes can be corrected
