Pretty Rubik’s Cube patterns with algorithmsAre you tired solving your Rubik’s Cube always the same way or are you looking for a new challenge? Try to create some

pretty patterns! In this section I’m going to present some of my favorite Rubik’s Cube patterns algorithms with preview images,

like the famous Superflip, the checkerboard, the snake patterns, the cross, the cube in a cube and other nice motives. If you

got bored solving the Rubik’s Cube always the same way and want new challenge try to reach one of these patterns without

watching the algorithms supplied.

In case you don’t know what these letters mean you should get started by reading the Rubik’s notation. If you don’t have a

Magic Cube go ahead and use the online Rubik’s Cube solver program where you can apply rotations or even solve the

cube.
