Greens can move. Sometimes a word has to come apart to put the whole cube together.

The same edge letter appears on two faces. Its color is a clue for each word.

SMALL EXPERIMENT. BIGGER DIMENSION.

One word cube, three starting scrambles. Try the turns, find the connections, see how it feels.

TURNING IS THE MOVE

Words you can
get your hands on.

All 18 letters are already here. Twist the slices to restore six five-letter words. Every edge carries one letter, shared by its two faces.

  1. Drag a letter. Sideways turns its row; up or down turns its column. Or use the row, column, and whole-face buttons.
  2. Follow the colors. Green is right. Yellow belongs elsewhere in this word. Gray belongs on another face. A turn can move a green out of place.
  3. Find the seventh word. Middle slices move the centers. When all six are home, they spell a word in face order.

Looking around costs nothing. Undo is free. “Nudge me” makes one turn along a guaranteed route home; it may first undo a detour. Word clues are there whenever you want them.
