How it works
A cube has six centres, twelve edges and eight corners. Centres never move relative to each other, so the white centre is always the white side.
Edges have two colours. Corners have three. A piece keeps its colours forever — solving is about moving pieces to where their colours belong.
Turning a face moves nine stickers but only eight pieces: the centre just spins in place.
Common mistakes
- IF the “DO IT FOR ME” doesn’t solve properly after you rotated the cube, just use PRACTICE RESET.
- Trying to move a single sticker instead of a whole piece.
- Expecting a centre to change sides — it never does.
If it goes wrong: Nothing can go wrong here. Turn the cube freely and watch how pieces travel.
