Most solvers just spit out complex algorithms that treat you like a robot. CubeUnstuck is a browser-based tutor that teaches you how to solve your specific scramble. Scan your real cube via camera to get a 3D digital twin. Then, follow hands-free, voice-guided steps using the beginner-friendly Layer-by-Layer method. It even detects impossible states (like twisted corners)! It’s the anti-YouTube tutorial: you get real understanding and "aha!" moments with zero reading required.

Hi Product Hunt! 👋 I’m the maker of CubeUnstuck Learn. When I was a kid (long before YouTube tutorials), I got a Rubik’s Cube as a gift and never managed to solve it. Recently, I had a cube in my hands again and decided to build the interactive tutor I always wanted — one that helps anyone actually learn, not just copy moves. Have you ever tried following a generic YouTube tutorial, got lost on step 3, and gave up? Or used a solver app that just spits out a 20-move sequence you could never memorize? CubeUnstuck is built to fix exactly this. Instead of treating you like a robot, it acts like a human teacher. Here is how it works: 📷 Smart Scan: Hold your cube to your webcam. Our computer vision adapts to your room's lighting to build a synchronized, real-time 3D "digital twin" on your screen. 🛑 Diagnostic Check: Dropped your cube before? The app automatically detects impossible states (like physically twisted corners) so you aren't trying to solve an unsolvable puzzle. 🗣️ Hands-Free Tutor: We use voice-guided instructions, glowing halos, and 3D arrows to teach you the beginner Layer-by-Layer method. You don't need to read complex notation—just look at your cube and listen! We all have a scrambled cube sitting in a drawer somewhere. I'd love for you to grab it, try scanning it right in your browser (no app install required!), and see if the tutor helps you finally get unstuck. I'll be here all day answering questions. Let me know what you think of the scanning accuracy and the voice-guided flow! 🧩

I tried. It wasn't working for me.

Sharing a screenshot. Not sure if it might help. But I really liked the concept. Best of luck mate. 👊

@richard_andrews4 Thanks for sharing. It is super valuable feedback for me.

There are two different types of cubes:

Classical cube with stickers that has black borders as on the videos above the scan buttons. This cube can be detected with computer vision reliably and you actually run this scanner. But it is not working well with stickerless cube that you have.
Stickerless cube that you have. I had to create the second scan mode special for it. I must add one more video so it will be easier to figure out what the difference between scanners and what to choose for specific cube.

If you have time to try "Stickerless scanner" it will work. The only problem with it - you have to hit scan button for each side.

Rubik cube Solver & Tutor with camera that is really working.

If you ever tried to solve Rubik Cube but gave up this app is your chance to finally complete this challange.

But be aware - it is not super hard and once you solve it couple of time using simple beginner method you will see that it is not so diffuclt as most people think and you might miss that feeling that this is something impossible.

The web app at high level:

has a great camera scan and this is the key difference from lots of other solvers. The scan is working.
in the tutor mode has voice explanations so you don't need to read any text. Just focus on the cube and on the explanation.
twisted corner, swapped edges and similar issues are very common. Most of people have no idea about them but they makes impossible to solve the cube. The web app will detect these errors and give you hints how to solve them and make your cube solvable.
