The Rubik's Revenge (aka the Master Cube) has 4x4x4 blocks, making it harder to solve than the original Rubik's Cube. This puzzle was released in 1981 and was actually invented not by professor Rubik himself but by Péter Sebestény.

The most common algorithm for solving the Rubik's Revenge is called the "reduction" method. As implied by its name, this algorithm focuses on solving the 2x2 center pieces and 2x1 edge pieces first - thus "reducing" the problem to a 3x3x3 puzzle, which can be solved exactly like a regular 3x3x3 cube (Except for two parity cases that require further algorithms).

This puzzle has more parts than the Rubik's Cube, thus many more possible permutations. The number of possible permutations of the Rubik's Revenge is over 7.4x10⁴⁵. The Current world record for solving it is 16.86 seconds, and it was set by Max Park from the USA at the CubingUSA Western Championship 2021 competition.

i like it, im still learning how to solve it, but i like it!

Cameron

Can anybody tell me how to solve a 4x4

Rubik A

Wow i soved it!

Aiseah

In my opinion, I think it’s really hard. I haven’t solved it before so I use the 3x3 strategy but doesn’t work.

i love 4x4

Mmm

I solved this 4x4 cube and all the other cubes

This is an amazing simulator. Before I had a 4x4, I used this. I still love it to this day.

Baba Raya

I got this 4x4 for Christmas.

nickcuber

is good the simulator of rubik cube 4x4x4 the best

Christopher

My record is about 2 minutes!

Christopher

As a 4x4x4, I would know how to solve the 6x6x6 'cause they use similar methods.

deag

since i can solve a 2x2 rubiks, i did it like i 2x2! :D (i did it my scramble)

kylan

I solved it in 3:12, awesome 4x4

Speed beginner

My fastest time on a 3x3 is 31.23

cubik's man

good 4x4

Kai Chisaki

Best. 4x4. App. Ever :D I might buy a real one soon

Feliks

cool man solved

jaret

I can solve it if I don't get yellow cross parity.
