This report investigates the landscape of open-source Python implementations for solving $n \times n \times n$ Rubik's Cubes available on GitHub. It focuses on algorithmic approaches, code architecture, and the feasibility of generic solvers that scale beyond the standard $3 \times 3 \times 3$ puzzle. The primary finding is that while $3 \times 3$ solvers are abundant, $n \times n$ solvers typically rely on implemented via object-oriented programming to handle variable cube dimensions.
Algorithms for solving the cube typically involve a series of moves that manipulate the cube's state towards the solved state. A popular method for beginners is the CFOP (Cross, F2L, OLL, PLL) method. quintillion possible states, yet it can always be
