MoYu Meilong Mirror Cube (3×3 Shape Mod)

A 3×3 with the pieces cut to different heights, so it changes shape as you scramble it and is solved by restoring the block instead of matching colours. The same method as a normal 3×3, and a great deal harder to look at.

Original price was: £4.99.Current price is: £3.79.

The Meilong Mirror Cube is the best introduction to shape modifications, because it is mechanically identical to a 3×3. Everything you already know applies. What changes is that the pieces are different heights, so a scrambled cube is a jagged lump and you solve by shape.

That is a bigger change than it sounds. On a normal cube your eyes do most of the work. Here they cannot, so you track pieces by size and position instead, which is why a solver who averages twenty seconds on a 3×3 will take minutes over their first mirror cube.

The Meilong Mirror Cube turns properly instead of seizing up after a week. It is the cheapest genuine puzzle in the range. It makes a good present for someone who solves a 3×3 and thinks they have run out of challenges.
