About Solved

A single platform for the tools and trainers that take you from beginner to pro.

Solved started out with two main goals:

  1. Bringing tools and trainers into one singular platform. Many timers, tools, trainers, and so on exist already, but by putting them all in one place, it will no longer be a question of where to look for trainers and so on.

  2. Build new, unique resources that don't exist. Many people know what they need to work on, but not how to train it. This website aims to tackle the lack of such resources.

These goals are being worked on nearly every day, but they are far from being finished!

On this website, you will find an algorithm database, trainers, tools, a timer, and a reconstructor. You can also challenge yourself daily with daily puzzles.

Hi! My name is Ulrik, and I'm from Norway. I wanted to create a place which can take you from beginner to pro, and to tackle some issues I've had with existing tools. My cubing journey began in ~2011, and I went to my first competition in 2012. I've been a delegate since 2017, and I'm active member of the Norwegian community. I enjoy helping others with the best hobby in the world. I've taught many people to solve the cube, and frequently give tips to anyone who wants them. I work on this website nearly every day on my free time. I hope you find it useful

Special thanks to
