Cube patterns and tricks
Make a checkerboard, cube in a cube, superflip and more on a 3x3 cube. Every pattern plays on an interactive 3D cube.
Patterns and tricks
- Checkerboard patternTurn a solved 3x3 cube into a checkerboard on every face with six half turns. The easiest cube pattern to learn and show off.3 min
- Plus patternPut a plus sign of a different colour on all six faces of a 3x3 cube. An 11-move pattern, step by step on a 3D cube.3 min
- Six spots patternMake every centre stand out as a single spot on its face. An eight-move cube pattern with a neat symmetry.3 min
- Cube in a cube patternMake a smaller cube appear to sit inside the corner of your 3x3 cube. A 15-move pattern shown move by move in 3D.5 min
- Wire patternWind a thin zig-zag wire of colour around the four sides of a 3x3 cube while the top and bottom stay solved.4 min
- SuperflipThe superflip flips all 12 edges of a 3x3 cube in place. It's a famous position that needs 20 moves, the most any position needs.5 min
- The repetition trickRepeat any move sequence enough times and the cube comes back to solved. R U R' U' takes 6; R U takes 105.4 min
