A 2x2 cube, often referred to as the "2x2 Rubik's Cube," "Pocket Cube," or "Mini Cube," is a smaller and simpler version of the classic 3x3 Rubik's Cube puzzle. It is a three-dimensional mechanical puzzle that consists of smaller cubes, also known as "cubies," arranged in a 2x2x2 configuration. Unlike the 3x3 cube, which has 6 faces and 54 stickers, the 2x2 cube has only 4 faces and 24 stickers.

A 3x3 cube, commonly known as the "3x3 Rubik's Cube" or simply the "Rubik's Cube," is the standard three-dimensional mechanical puzzle. It consists of a cube with six faces, each made up of nine smaller squares called "cubies." The puzzle is characterized by its colorful stickers on each face, which can be of various colors but traditionally include white, yellow, blue, green, red, and orange.

A 4x4 cube, often referred to as the "4x4 Rubik's Cube" or "Rubik's Revenge," is a larger and more complex mechanical puzzle than the traditional 3x3 Rubik's Cube. Like the 3x3 cube, it consists of a cube-shaped structure made up of smaller cubies, but it is larger and has more features. The 4x4 cube has four layers on each axis, meaning it has a total of 16 smaller squares on each face, making a total of 96 individual stickers. Unlike the 3x3 cube, the 4x4 cube has a mechanism that allows each of the four center cubies on each face to rotate independently, adding an extra layer of complexity to the puzzle.
