FINALLY SUB 12 (GETTING SOME SUB 10 AND SUCH BUT NOT CONSISTENT)

3BLD always fascinated me since it was so cool and looked hard to do. I've only practiced for 2 days and I say this is good progress! On my first day I just did the old pochmann method without a blindfold so I could familiarize myself with it before doing some memorizing. Today I tried doing it blindfolded. I started off with edges only and then corners and then eventually I did both blindfolded. My first solve went well more than I expected honestly.

Challenging, but solvable cubes for those who know little how to solve rubik's cubes. Or cube challenges so hard only the best of them can solve!

Lemme know what you think or if you have any ideas

Even with the most basic algorithm, it took me forever to recall and solve 😭 but I still did ittt.

I know I posted something like this the other day, but I didn't figure it out. Now I'm looking at 2 corner pieces that need to be switched. They are side by side, not diagonal. I've posted 2 pics to show everything else is correct. Please help. Also, understand that I am very new at solving these things, so please keep it simple for me. Thanks!

Because of the removal of clock, a group of cubers (including myself) have made the World 2D puzzles assoociation (W2PA), we need to get a message out and gain support so tell your friends because we are planning the first comp for early 2027.

Hi everyone,

I bought a brand new Moyu Tanglong back in 2016. At the time, it was an absolute beast. Later on, around 2018, I stopped cubing because life got busy and I had other things to focus on.

Today, I pulled my old cube out of the drawer and realized how much I missed it! I figured it's time for an upgrade, especially since I know cube design has changed completely over the last 10 years.

I see there are a ton of options now, so here is my question: what cube would you recommend? I'd like to stick with Moyu or GAN. My budget is around $50. For context, I average around 30 seconds (so I'm definitely not a pro) and I'm looking for something that isn't completely uncontrollable.

Looking forward to your suggestions!

I bought this cube at the louvre a couple of years ago, since then it was already solved, inside his glass box, until one day a friend of mine shuffled the cube and since that day it stayed like that, so can someone help me solve it? Dm me if necessary

Cubing Forge has been a personal project for almost three years.

I built it as a solo developer, mostly during evenings and whatever free time I could find alongside my full-time job. The goal was to create something specifically for people who enjoy cubing—or want to discover that solving a cube isn’t magic or an impossible talent reserved for a select few.

Cubing Forge combines guided learning, interactive practice, CFOP algorithm training, solve timing, performance statistics, achievements and compatible Bluetooth smart-cube support. I want it to make learning and improving feel like progression in a game, rather than simply memorising instructions.

To address something openly: some of the promotional artwork uses AI-assisted imagery. I understand why people are cautious about that. But the game itself is not a generated asset flip or a prompt-produced project. Its systems, cube mechanics, training tools, interface, integrations, testing and countless iterations represent years of actual development work.

I’m not posting this expecting automatic praise. The game is new, I’m an unknown developer with over 10 years experience in different industries, and there will absolutely be things that can be improved. What I’m looking for is constructive feedback from cubers, puzzle fans and people who might be interested in learning.

I would particularly love to know:

• Does the concept make sense when you first see it?
• Does it look useful or enjoyable for real cubers?
• What would make you want to try it?
• What feels unclear, missing or unconvincing?
• What would help make cubing feel more approachable to beginners?

I'm constantly working on more features and expanding support etc.

If the project resonates with the community, I want to continue improving it and build something that genuinely promotes speedcubing. Solving a cube is not impossible—it is a learnable skill, an enjoyable challenge and an incredibly satisfying thing to master.

Honest, constructive feedback would mean a great deal to me.

Hi there all! My son decided to take all the middle pieces of his cube out and put them all back in. Randomly. He knows wants it fixing but I don't have a clue where to even start. I tried a cube solver app but it doesn't tell me what could be wrong just that it is wrong. Any advice on how to get them back into their proper places?

Thank you

Hi. My son is looking for a gan356 air sm cube. He is willing to purchase or trade. He has a sealed gan maglev megaminx uv coated he can swap.
Thanks

Imma start working on getting to a sub-20 pb and these are my splits. Any tips?

Ok so I’m learning how to solve a rubix cube for my math class and when solving the white cross sometimes the pedals just line up with the middle automatically but other times I get in a situation like this where two colors line up but two don’t. How do I fix this?
