Enter colors by changing the letters in the layout and then press Show to view the cube. To start with a clean slate press Clear. When typing in the letters it is not necessary to space them any particular way. As long as the sequence matches the diagram below, spacing will automatically be adjusted to make the proper layout. Any letters entered other than RGYBWO will become L (Light Gray) which means blank.

After the cube is fully colored (no blanks) a link will appear which can be used to pass the layout to the Cube Solver. The Text Input Cube program does not validate the cube configuration so you may need to make corrections in the Cube Solver if it is not valid.

This progam is also a conversion utility for changing the text layout into the AnimCube format and vice-versa. Below the layout are the two cube strings, the first is a readonly copy of the layout in single-line format. The second is the AnimCube format which is used as the facelets parameter to display the cube (using the software). To display a string that is already in AnimCube format, press Clear and paste it into the second string field, click the checkbox below it and press Show.

A move sequence can be applied by entering the sequence in the box at the bottom. Moves must be separated by spaces. The following move codes can be used with the usual suffixes of 2 for half-twist or a single-quote (') for counter-clockwise:
