How to solve a Rubik's Cube with your phone
You need a standard 3x3x3 cube and a few minutes.
- Open Cube Puzzle Solver and choose Scan My Cube, or enter the colours manually if you prefer not to use the camera.
- Scan each of the six faces in even daylight with the face filling the grid, then fix any sticker marked with a question mark.
- Let the app check the cube. If it says the cube is invalid, compare each face with your cube and correct the stickers.
- Hold the cube with white on top and green facing you, then follow each move shown on the 3D cube.
- Use next and previous to move through the solution, and finish when the cube shows as solved.
Frequently asked questions
How do I solve a Rubik's Cube with this app?
Scan the six faces with your camera or type the colours in, let the app check the cube, then follow the step-by-step moves on the 3D cube until it is solved.
Which cubes does Cube Puzzle Solver support?
Standard 3x3x3 Rubik's Cubes only. Other sizes and shapes are not supported.
Do I need the camera?
No. You can enter the colours by hand. The camera is only used if you start a scan, and Android asks for your permission first.
Does the app upload my camera photos?
No. Camera images are analysed on your phone to read sticker colours and are not saved or sent anywhere.
Why does the app say my cube is invalid?
A real cube follows strict rules, so one misread or wrongly entered sticker makes the check fail. Compare each face with your cube, fix the stickers and try again.
Is the solution the shortest possible?
Not necessarily. Solutions are practical for beginners and are not guaranteed to be the shortest. They are correct for the colours you confirm.
Is Cube Puzzle Solver free?
The app is free and supported by ads, with consent choices where the law requires them.
