Start the right way up
Hold the white centre on top, the green centre towards you and the red centre on your right. Match the green face first. For each new face, use the top and side colour markers to check your orientation.
A LITTLE GUIDANCE. EVERY TURN.
Let’s solve your cube.
Match the colours. Find your solution. Take it one turn at a time.
A HELPING HAND
From mixed-up colours to your next move
You don’t need to know any algorithms to get started. Pick up your cube, match the colours on screen and let the solver work out a route for you. Go at your own pace. There’s no timer to beat.
Match all six faces
Click a grey tile to cycle through the available colours. Centres stay fixed. The app skips choices that cannot belong to a legal cube. If a colour you need is missing, check an earlier tile or the way you’re holding the cube.
Choose your next step
Solve the whole cube, or choose one side for a first-layer lesson. Put the cube back in the starting orientation before making the first move. Use Back if you need to reverse a turn, or Cube Reset to begin again.

Which cubes can I use?
This version supports standard six-colour 3×3 cubes with white opposite yellow, green opposite blue, and red opposite orange. With white on top and green in front, red must be on the right. Picture cubes, unusual colour layouts and other sizes are not supported yet.
Can this help me solve a Rubik’s Cube?
Yes, if your standard 3×3 Rubik’s Cube has the colour layout described above. It also works with other compatible 3×3 puzzle cubes. Solve My Cube is an independent tool and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Rubik’s or Spin Master.
Why can’t I select the colour I need?
The app keeps every partial entry compatible with a real cube. It also limits each colour to nine tiles, including its centre. A missing choice usually means an earlier colour or face orientation needs checking. Use Undo tile, revisit another face or clear a face and try again.
Does “Solve 1 side” solve just that face?
It builds a proper first layer: the chosen face and the adjoining edge and corner colours all line up. The lesson makes the cross first, then places the corners. It does not aim to solve the remaining layers, although a nearly solved cube may finish along the way.
Are these the fewest possible moves?
Not necessarily. The app checks that its moves reach your chosen goal, but it does not promise the shortest solution. A half-turn counts as one move.
What if I turn the wrong layer?
If you know what went wrong, reverse that physical turn before continuing. Back one move rewinds the on-screen solution and tells you how to undo the previous planned move. If your cube no longer matches the display and you’re unsure why, use Cube Reset and enter its current colours.
Will my progress be saved if I close the page?
No. Your entered colours and solution stay in this open page. Refreshing or closing it clears that progress. The site remembers whether you have seen the starting-orientation prompt on this browser.
Do I need an account or a camera?
No. You enter the colours yourself, and the calculation runs in your browser. The solver does not need to upload a photo or send your cube colours to a solving service.
