Rubik Cube Solver — Solve Any 3x3 Cube Online, Free
Paint your scrambled Rubik's Cube in the editor, get an easy step-by-step 3D solution in about 20 moves, and follow along until it's solved. No download, no sign-up — it runs entirely in your browser.
Online 3x3 Rubik's Cube Solver
Paint the stickers to match your real cube, then press Solve. The engine checks that your cube is physically solvable and gives you a short, easy-to-follow solution.
3D view
Engine warming up…Paint your cube
Pick a color, then click stickers to paint them. Right-click erases a sticker. Keyboard 1-6 switches colors. The small ring marks the fixed centers.
This state is solvable — ready to go.
How to solve the Rubik's Cube
From a scrambled cube to a solved one in three steps — no prior knowledge needed.
Paint your cube
Turn your real cube so one face looks at you, then paint each sticker in the editor to match what you see. The centers show which color each face should be.
Press Solve
The solver first checks that your cube is physically solvable, then computes a short solution — typically about 20 moves — using a two-phase algorithm.
Follow the 3D steps
Play the solution at your own speed and turn your real cube exactly like the 3D preview. After the last move your cube is solved.
Why use this Rubik's Cube solver
A focused, free tool that does one thing well: getting your cube solved.
Short, near-optimal solutions
The Kociemba two-phase algorithm computes solutions of about 20 moves — close to the mathematical optimum, since no scramble needs more than 20.
Step-by-step 3D guidance
Watch every move on an animated 3D cube, play it at your own speed, step forward and back, and jump to any move in the list.
Cube health check
The solver detects impossible states — twisted corners, flipped edges, swapped pieces — and tells you exactly what to fix on your physical cube.
10 languages
English, French, German, Japanese, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Korean, Spanish, Russian and Arabic — each with its own translated pages.
Private by design
Painting, checking and solving all happen in your browser. Nothing you paint is ever uploaded to a server.
Free forever, no account
No sign-up, no paywall, no move limits, no ads gating the solver. Open the page and solve.
Rubik's Cube notation guide
Each move is named after the face you turn, viewed from that face. The solution list uses the same letters.
| Symbol | Meaning |
|---|---|
| R | R — turn the right face a quarter turn clockwise. |
| L | L — turn the left face a quarter turn clockwise (as seen from the left). |
| U | U — turn the up face a quarter turn clockwise (as seen from above). |
| D | D — turn the down face a quarter turn clockwise (as seen from below). |
| F | F — turn the front face a quarter turn clockwise (as seen from the front). |
| B | B — turn the back face a quarter turn clockwise (as seen from the back). |
| X' | An apostrophe (R') means counterclockwise — a quarter turn in the opposite direction. |
| X2 | A 2 (R2) means a half turn — 180 degrees in either direction. |
Tip: always judge 'clockwise' while looking directly at the face you are turning.
