The Skewb: Small, different and surprisingly addictive

Every 15th, we spotlight a puzzle that deserves a little more attention.
This month's puzzle is one that is often underestimated because of its size, but has enormous depth: the Skewb.

What is a Skewb anyway?

The Skewb is a twisty puzzle that rotates around corners rather than edges. Instead of layers moving horizontally or vertically, each move rotates around a corner. This makes the Skewb fundamentally different from a 3x3, despite its relatively simple size.

Many puzzlers think of the Skewb: “ it will be finished quickly ” and yes, it is fast… but that is precisely why everything revolves around control, planning and precision.

Why the Skewb is so special

• Unique rotating mechanism
  Corner-based turns make for a completely different solving experience.
• Fast and technical
  Skewb-solves are short, but require a lot of insight and finger control.
• Perfect for training turning skills
  You immediately notice small mistakes, which is ideal for learning to turn more precisely.
• Accessible but not boring
  Beginners can learn it, advanced users continue to optimize it.
• Official WCA event
  A popular competitive puzzle game with an active speedcubing community.

Why we're highlighting the Skewb this month

Because the Skewb is often seen as a "side puzzle," it's actually one of the most elegant and technically interesting puzzles. It demonstrates that a puzzle doesn't have to be large or complex to be challenging, and with the right model, it feels absurdly good.
