CubeSensei

Learn how the Rubik's Cube really works — the language of turns (F, R, U, L, D, B), how each move shuffles the stickers, and the methods speedcubers use. Cubix, your guide, connects every idea to real solving.

A guided intro from zero — name the six faces, watch what each move letter does, and meet the three piece types.

🧭 Foundations — faces, notation & pieces Cubix walks you through the six faces (name one → it lights up), every move letter demoed as a live turn (R, U′, F2…), and the centre / edge / corner pieces. No memorising, no 3-D needed. 🧩 Solve it — the beginner method new Learn to solve any cube, one layer at a time. Each of the seven steps highlights only the pieces that matter and greys out the rest — the same guided walkthrough as the app, on a flat net. Watch each algorithm solve a case.

Turn a cube — no 3-D, no camera

Three interactive tools, rebuilt flat for the browser so they work on any device.

Cube-Net Trainer An unfolded cube you turn with real notation buttons (R, U′, F2…). Every sticker shows its colour letter, so you can watch exactly what each move does — then try the checkerboard, the sexy move, and the superflip. Algorithm Drill Build the inverse of a sequence to undo it, read what each move means, and learn why R⁴ comes back to solved. Sharpens the notation skills every solver needs. Predict the Pattern Look at one ringed sticker, picture a short sequence (like R U R′) in your head, and predict its new colour before the cube runs the moves. Predicting first turns notation into real spatial reasoning.

Play together

Two ways to keep going — a same-device match with friends, or a trail through every kit. On-device only; nothing leaves this device.

Cube Duel (pass-and-play) 2–4 players take turns on one device — same questions for everyone, highest first-try score wins. Cube Quest — follow the map → A progression trail through every kit. Clear each stop of real practice, then move on.

Mixed practice - revisit what you've learned A short round that shuffles questions from the kits you've played, brought back when they're ready to review. Great for making it stick. CubeSensei Sprint — a calm speed round → Once you’ve mastered a few kits, race your OWN best on what you already know. Timer optional, no penalty for a miss.
