This puzzle operates in two modes: Normal Mode and Assisted Mode. In normal mode you make each move individually, but in assisted mode the computer will apply predefined sequences of moves as requested.

Normal Mode

The puzzle starts in this mode. Press 's' to shuffle the cube 19 times. Press 'h' to stop the shuffle earlier for an easier challenge.

To move a piece use the left button to drag a square in the direction you want it to move.

To rotate the whole cube use the right button to drag a square in the direction you want the cube to rotate.



Assisted Mode

Enter assisted mode by pressing 'a'. You will stay in assisted mode until you press 'h'. In this mode you can request the computer to use some of the sequences used in solving the cube, namely swapping adjacent edge pieces, flipping adjacent edge pieces, switching corner pieces, and rotating corner pieces.

In this mode you can still rotate the cube by dragging with the right button.

Hint: work on the edge pieces first, then position the corners and finally rotate the corners.
