The 3D Rubik’s Cube solver on Grubiks was developed so people would be able to solve the Rubik’s Cube without having to learn and memorize these methods. If you have an old scrambled cube just lying around the house, if you’re trying to learn how to solve it on your own and just need a “reset”, if you're looking for algorithms for patterns, or even if you just want to impress your friends - this solver is perfect for you.

Rubik’s Cubes have shaped the way we think about problems in life, and have demonstrated that most problems and puzzles don’t always have the simplest solution, but they are always solvable. The original Rubik’s Cube received a lot of attention and fame in the 1980s, which led to a mass developed 4x4x4 being marketed under the names Master Cube and Rubik’s Revenge. This eventually led to the Rubik’s Professor 5x5x5 cube, but puzzle designers already had everything they needed to take the twisty puzzle world to a new level – Cuboids.
First rotational puzzle created that has just one colour, [9] requiring the solver to restore the puzzle to its original cube form without colour aids. cube possesses are still mind-numbing. If one were to try solving it by pure chance every day full time, one could only solve it 2 or 3 times a year. That is assuming the cube doesn’t break during this time. 2. 3x3x3 Rubik’s Cube They're based in convenient locations including supermarkets, newsagents and train stations. Plus they're often open late and on Sundays. Mechanically identical to the standard 3×3×3 cube. The pattern, which is often a promotional logo or pictures of performers, will usually have the effect of making the orientation of the centre pieces 'count' in the solution. The solution is therefore the same as the 'Magic Square' cube above.Mechanically identical to the standard 3×3×3 cube. However, the numbers on the centre pieces force the solver to become aware that each one can be in one of four orientations, thus hugely increasing the total number of combinations. The number of combinations of centre face orientations is 4 6. However, odd combinations (overall odd number of rotations) of the centre faces cannot be achieved with legal operations. The increase is therefore x2 11 over the original making the total approximately 10 24 combinations. This adds to the difficulty of the puzzle but not astronomically; only one or two additional algorithms are required to affect a solution. Note that the puzzle can be treated as a number magic square puzzle on each of the six faces with the magic constant being 15 in this case. There are many puzzles which are mechanically identical to the regular cuboids listed above but have variations in the pattern and colour of design. Some of these are custom made in very small numbers, sometimes for promotional events. The ones listed in the table below are included because the pattern in some way affects the difficulty of the solution or is notable in some other way. The original 2x2x6 was invented a full 6 years before its predecessor in the tower cube series. The first design used a standard 4x4 for its base, although this was heavily modified to create the new puzzle (in fact, for the first version, two 4x4s were used). The second 2x2x6 to be made was created by Tony Fisher, the first of its kind to use symmetrical pieces. This version was created in the years following the original release, which served as its inspiration. This puzzle has now been mass produced by WitEden, at the same time as the 2x2x5.
The 7x7x7x cube has 19.5 duoquinquagintillion combinations. A duoquinquagintillion can be represented as 10159 (10 to the power of 159), or 159 zeroes after the 1. The 7x7x7 Rubik’s cube is marketed under Verdes’ V-Cube brand, and has an exact combination of: The solution to the 2x2x4 is slightly different to that of its predecessor. This cube can shape-shift slightly, although the shapeshifting will always leave 1x1x2 bars together. To undo the shape-shifting, simply solve a single layer of the bars and complete the last layer like a 2x2 cube (because some of the pieces are bandaged, the puzzle will function just like a 2x2, except instead of every 1x1 cubie, you will have 1x1x2 bars). A traditional sliding piece puzzle. There are now endless variations of this original puzzle implemented as computer games. The final step is to solve the middle layer. This is also very simple. If you have two matching adjacent pieces, move the middle layer until they match the top and the bottom layer. Hold the cube horizontally and perform the following algorithm to swap the two “top” pieces (remember that because the cube is now rotated, an R2 move will be made using one of the 2x2 faces you made earlier): R2 U2 R2 U2 R2 U2 Some designers have even gone as far as making 2x2x13 cuboids, but no higher than the 2x2x6 has been mass produced yet.Solutions to this cube is similar to a regular 3x3x3 except that odd-parity combinations are possible with this puzzle. This cube uses a special mechanism due to absence of a central core. The 2x2x3 and 2x2x4 are the most common tower puzzles, so only these two will have their solutions explicitly explained. Most of the concepts of these cubes can be applied to larger 2x2xN puzzles, so once you can solve these two you should be able to solve them all. 2x2x3 Solution The majority of all cuboids are based on existing NxN mechanisms, and are fully functional (this means that each layer on each face functions as normal, and there are no restricted moves). There are several different types of cuboid design that all fall into one of the two categories:
