A FAMILIAR PUZZLE, UNFOLDED

Find your orbit.

Make each of the six sticker groups a single color. The rings and the cube show exactly the same puzzle.

  1. Turn a ring. Click an open part of a ring for a clockwise turn. Shift-click or right-click turns it back. You can also drag along a ring.
  2. Use the markers. The three neutral controls around each group correspond to its outer, middle, and inner ring. Each arrow turns that layer in its own direction.
  3. Explore the middle. A middle turn moves the four side strips, including their centers. Relative to the cube’s orientation, that is equivalent to moving both outer layers the other way.
  4. Find a solution. Scramble to begin. Ask for a hint, step through a calculated solution, or watch the cube solve itself.
