A full screen 3D Rubik's Cube simulator. Drag to turn the sides, scramble with one tap, undo, get hints and share any cube state with a link. Free, no app.

This is the full screen version of the cube on the home page. Drag a sticker to turn that side. Drag the empty space around the cube to look at it from another angle. Press Space to scramble.

Controls

This 3D cube works like a real Rubik's Cube. Drag a sticker and that side turns. Drag the background and the whole cube spins so you can look at the back. On the keyboard each key is the letter of the move, the same letters you read in every algorithm. 🎮

RubiksCu.be on a phone screen: a scrambled 3D cube with the Play, Solve, Time and Learn tabs and the Scramble, Undo and Hint buttons below it — On a phone the tools stack under the cube. Turn it with one finger.

Input	What it does
Mouse: drag a sticker	Turns that side in the direction you drag
Mouse: drag the background	Rotates the whole cube
Mouse: scroll	Zoom in and out
Touch: one finger on a sticker	Turns that side
Touch: one finger on the background	Rotates the whole cube
Touch: pinch	Zoom in and out
Keys U, D, L, R, F, B	Turn that face clockwise: up (top), down (bottom), left, right, front, back
Keys M, E, S	Turn the middle slices
Keys X, Y, Z	Rotate the whole cube: x up like R, y around the top like U, z like a wheel like F
Shift + any of these	The same move the other way (Shift+R = R')
Backspace	Undo the last move
Space	New scramble

A letter alone is a clockwise quarter turn, the apostrophe means counterclockwise. If the letters are new to you, the notation page shows each move on a small animated cube. The gear button hides the extras: paste an algorithm, mirror view, a color scheme editor, and letters on the stickers for color-blind cubers.

The full screen 3D cube with a letter on every sticker: W for white, Y for yellow, R for red, O for orange, G for green and B for blue — The Aa button puts a color letter on every sticker.

Tips for beginners

Scramble with the space bar instead of random turns. You get a fair scramble every time, like at a competition.
Turn on the ghost view in the gear menu. It shows the hidden back sides in a faint copy, so you stop spinning the cube around all the time.
Do R U R' U' six times with the keys R, U, Shift+R, Shift+U. Watch the cube come back to solved. Patterns like this are the building blocks of every solving method.
Press Hint when you are stuck. It tells you which of the 7 steps you are at and makes the pieces you need glow.
Copy the share link to send your exact position to a friend or a teacher. The link holds the whole cube state.

The full screen cube after pressing Hint: a box above the cube says Step 1 of 7, white cross, with the moves L2 F and a Do these moves for me button — Hint on the full screen cube. "Do these moves for me" plays the moves slowly.

One habit from our own practice: after a scramble, look for the four white edges before you touch anything. That short pause is the start of the planning fast cubers do in their 15 seconds of inspection. 🙂

Where to go next

If the cube is a mess and you want it fixed, press Solve, and the solver gives you a solution in about 20 moves from this exact state. Every position can be solved in 20 moves or fewer, which was proved in 2010 and is written up on cube20.org. If you want to learn to do it yourself, open the 7 step tutorial. Each step has a practice button that sets up this cube.
