Description
Description: I really like Rubik’s Cubes, so I created a challenge for you. I put the flag on the white tiles and scrambled the cube. Once you solved the cube, you’ll know my secret.

The 3 interested faces were:
White side:

All letters extracted were: {3DRW}3IC
We knew the flag format was :
IW{
???
??}
Remaining letters: 3DR3C
The letter D was at the middle of a face, and will not move after all:
IW{
?D?
??}
Remaining letters: 3R3C
The letter C was in a corner, and there was only one corner still available:
IW{
?D?
C?}
Remaining letters: 3R3
We tried to put the 3 letters in the order:
IW{
3DR
C3}
It worked!
Flag was : IW{3DRC3}
