Cubics

Swipe across the cube to turn a layer. Drag the space around it to look.

Learn to solve it

Seven steps, one layer at a time. Hold the cube with white underneath and yellow on top. Each letter is one side: U is up, D down, R right, L left, F front. A plain letter means clockwise, a letter with a tick mark (R') means counter-clockwise, and a 2 means turn it twice.

The way to solve it

Each letter is a side, named by its centre colour. A tick mark means counter-clockwise, and a 2 means turn it twice. The coloured bar under each move shows which side.
