Drills

Practise one part of the solve at a time: the cross, F2L, the last pairs and your lookahead.

About this drill

Plan an XCross during inspection: the cross together with the first pair. With a smart cube the clock stops when the cross is on the bottom, and the goal is to have a pair in its slot by then. Afterwards you see the optimal XCross into each of the four slots.

Connect a smart cube: it sets each drill up with you move by move, starts on your first turn and stops by itself when the drill is done.

SPACE starts and stops; the next scramble follows.

Got a smart cube? It sets each drill up and times it.

About this drill

Connect a smart cube: it sets each drill up with you move by move, starts on your first turn and stops by itself when the drill is done.

Every drill isolates one part of the solve, so a minute of practice gives you far more useful repetitions than full solves do. Scrambles are random-state: the part you drill is solved, everything else is truly random. With a smart cube the drill judges itself and moves straight on to the next one.
