Solve in stages

Broken up into 8 stages with 8 simple algorithms

Simplified approach

Minimal move types and nicknamed algorithms make for a simple, easy to remember approach

Zero cost, no ads

Mastering the Cube requires Zen! Cube Buddy requires no sign-up, is free and runs no ads so you can focus

Fun at all speeds

Learn this method in an hour or over a few weeks. You’ll find cubing is fun and rewarding whether it’s your first solve or your 50th!

Learn how to solve the Rubik

Presented in a logical flow via a simple web application

Our simple app runs on all devices in a web browser and features a combination of diagrams, written instructions and short videos to help you tackle the Cube one stage at a time. It will teach you how to solve the cube so that with practice, you can do it by heart without the help of Cube Buddy.

Diagrams to aid the learning process

Visual instructions and nicknamed algorithms provide an easier introduction compared to the typical letter notations.

More than just a video

Cube Buddy breaks down each stage into simple components so you can learn bit by bit:
Orientation: How to hold the cube
Algorithm: Which algorithm to use
Method: Steps and algorithm usage required to complete the stage
Tutorial: A complete run through of the stage from start to finish

Solving the Cube is challenging at first, so if you’re stuck at one stage or can’t quite get your head around that algorithm, Cube Buddy makes it easy to practice the part of the solve you need to master next. No need to scroll through videos to find the part you need help with, just navigate straight to what you need to learn or practice.
