4x4 cubes: the first real jump

Going from 3x3 to 4x4 is not just adding a layer. A 4x4 has no fixed centres, so you lose the reference that kept you oriented on the 3x3, and two new cases appear that cannot exist on the classic cube. We stock 14 models from €7.99 to €55.99, by MoYu, QiYi, Vin Cube, YJ and SengSo.

Parity: what makes the 4x4 different

This is the word you will hear constantly. On a 4x4 you can reach the end with a single flipped edge or two swapped edges, positions that are impossible on a 3x3. You have not solved it wrong: it is a consequence of the centre pieces being able to move. Two specific algorithms fix it, learned once and never forgotten.

The usual approach is reduction: first group the four centres of each face, then pair the edges two by two, and the 4x4 becomes a giant 3x3 you already know how to solve.

Single, dual or triple track: MoYu's ladder

The MoYu AoSu V7 is in our catalogue in all three versions, and it is the clearest way to understand why a 4x4 costs €20 or €56:

Single-track, 96 magnets. One magnet set per layer. Genuinely magnetic and plenty for most people.
Dual-track, 112 magnets. Two magnetic paths: it holds the inner layers better, and those are the ones that drift during fast turns.
Triple-track, 160 magnets and ball-core. The top. Full control over every layer plus an adjustable spherical core.

If this is your first 4x4, the single-track or the YJ MGC 4x4 M is more than enough. Triple-track is for people who already know what annoys them about their current cube.

Frequently asked questions about 4x4 cubes

Is it much harder than a 3x3?

Longer, not conceptually harder. If you solve the 3x3, the 4x4 costs you two parity algorithms and getting used to grouping centres. A couple of afternoons.

Does it need to be magnetic?

Even more than a 3x3 does. The inner layers of a 4x4 drift very easily and magnets are exactly what holds them in place. If you are going to use it seriously, go magnetic.

What is a ball-core on a 4x4?

A spherical core that lets you tune elasticity as well as tension. On a cube with this many moving pieces it makes a much bigger difference than on a 3x3.

Is there a 4x4 mirror cube?

Yes, we stock the SengSo 4x4 Mirror in gold or silver, where you sort by piece size instead of colour. More puzzles in that spirit in unusual cubes and shape mods.
