Rubik's Cube Timer

Get a scramble, inspect for 15 seconds, then solve, your times are logged with a running best and average.

About this tool

Whether you are chasing your first sub-minute solve or shaving tenths off a personal best, the Rubik’s Cube Timer has the flow of a proper speedcubing session. It gives you a scramble to follow, a short inspection countdown to study the cube and a solve stopwatch that starts when you are ready. Stop the timer the instant you finish and see your time right away, so you can repeat, compare and track improvement over a practice session. The big display is easy to read at arm’s length and the controls work from the keyboard, which keeps your hands where they belong. It is also a popular choice for school puzzle clubs, STEM days and cube competitions, where one device can time several students in turn. The timing is based on your device clock, so it remains precise. If you want to analyse laps or time other activities, the Online Stopwatch records hundredths of a second, and the Stopwatch category has more options. Teachers can combine this tool with the Classroom Timer tools, pick the next solver with the Random Name Picker and add rest periods using the 5 Minute Break Timer.

Frequently asked questions

How does the scramble avoid being trivial?

The generator never repeats the same face twice in a row and avoids immediately reversing the previous move on the same axis, so scrambles stay non-trivial.
