Welcome to the Rubik's Decoder Solver! This tool helps you solve a Rubik's decoder from a given configuration. It's also a simulator to play around with.
This website is NOT affiliated with the Rubik's brand in any way. This is simply a fan project based on the puzzle.
This type of puzzle has other names such as the "Rubik's Hex", "Whip-It", & "Babylon Tower". There are 3 rows and 6 columns with each row being rotatable. For each of the 6 colors, there are 3 tiles, except for white. There are only 2 white tiles because there's a blank space to slide tiles up and down into. The goal is for each column to have 3 of the same color with one of the columns having 2 white tiles and a blank space.
I would really appreciate if you disabled AdBlock for this site and refresh. I may include ads but they'll be on the sides where they won't bother you. Just them appearing there helps generate revenue which would go a long way to making this project feel worth the effort. Ads store cookies on the browser so they can be tailored to you, but no identifying data is collected.
If you're using Chrome, make sure to turn on "Hardware Acceleration" or the decoder may appear laggy.
For the optimal experience, please use a Windows PC, and use one of Chrome, Firefox, or Edge.
Use the color selector to input your desired configuration, then click SOLVE FOR ME to play back the solution in an average of 21-23 moves. It'll only work if your configuration is valid. There are indicators for when you need more or less of certain colors.
You can adjust playback speed and enable pauses in between moves to make them easier to follow and give you time to input them into your physical decoder if you have one.
Hold and drag your mouse to rotate and slide squares.
You can click SCRAMBLE and maybe challenge yourself to solve it.
