The Fisher Cube was made in the mid eighties by Tony Fisher and it was his first custom puzzle. So, what that means is that if one of the red, green, blue, or orange (on a windmill cube) centers are rotated by 90° in either direction or 180°, that would not be considered solved. It is what is known as a supercube, which means that center rotation matters. The Windmill Cube is a 3x3 cube, but cut diagonally on the white and yellow faces, rather than horizontally like the rest of the cube. It is recommended to familiarize yourself with this shape before scrambling it completely and trying to solve it. What makes it confusing at the first sight is that the solved state we want to achieve is not a cube, but a cube with the slightly shifted layers. In the solved state you have to first misalign the layers to make it fully functional. The Ghost Cube is an iconic and very difficlult shape shifter. There are 2x2x2 and 4x4x4 Mirror Cubes as well. Once you have found where a piece belongs you have to solve it the same way as the Rubik's Cube. In solved position the distance between the core of the cube and the particular faces varies.

A face is solved when it's flat and all pieces are on the same height with nothing sticking out. While on the classic Rubik's Cube six colours marked the solved state, in this case you can tell by shape and heights. Reflective gold or silver stickers cover the pieces of this shape shifting cube. The Mirror Cube (or mirror blocks) is probably the most popular 3x3 variation out there. ( R U R' U' R' F R2 U' R' U' R U R' F' ) x 2 Mirror Cube To turn the U center 180 o : ( R U R' U ) x 5 Turn two centers 90 degrees at the same time:į Clockwise, U Counterclockwise : ( M' U M U' ) x 5į Counterclockwise, U Clockwise : ( M' U' M U ) x 5 On a classic cube you don't have to worry about the rotation of a centre piece because the faces have solid colours, but in these cases the centre piece can be textured. To solve these you have to learn a new algorithm which rotates the centre pieces. These puzzles on the attached picture have all the same internal core mechanism, though they have different shapes and solutions. In this section I will present some Rubik's Cube twisty puzzle shape mods which all have the classic 3x3x3 core mechanism in the inside but from outside they seem to be something else.
