Welcome to the 3D Cube Simulator, a web-based interactive puzzle designed for speedcubers and enthusiasts. Our goal is to provide a seamless, realistic, and accessible way to practice your solving skills directly in the browser.
The interface is built for intuitive control, simulating the physical mechanics of a real cube:
The Magic Cube (originally Bűvös kocka) was invented in 1974 by Hungarian sculptor and professor of architecture Ernő Rubik. Originally created to help his students understand 3D objects, the puzzle didn't become a global toy sensation until the 1980s.
A standard 3x3x3 cube has six faces covered by nine stickers, each of one of six solid colors: white, red, blue, orange, green, and yellow. An internal pivot mechanism enables each face to turn independently, thus mixing up the colors.
The total number of permutations (arrangements) of a 3x3x3 cube is 43,252,003,274,489,856,000. That's 43 quintillion! To put this into perspective, if you had as many standard-sized cubes as there are permutations, you could cover the Earth's surface 275 times.
Despite this massive complexity, "God's Number"—the maximum number of moves required to solve any scramble configuration—is only 20.
Speedcubing is the sport of solving the cube as quickly as possible. The current world record for a single solve is under 4 seconds. Most advanced solvers use the CFOP method:
This simulator is a perfect tool to practice these stages, test new algorithms, or simply relax with a casual solve.
We are constantly improving the simulator. If you have feedback or feature requests, feel free to reach out.
