How to Spell Josh on a Rubik's Cube

First invented in 1974, the Rubik's Cube is still a popular puzzle. A Rubik's Cube-themed gift is excellent for fans of the puzzle at any occasion. If there is someone special in your life named Josh who is a Rubik's Cube fan, you can personalize a cube for him. It will make the cube unplayable, but it makes a personal gift that shows you appreciate his enthusiasm for the puzzle. It requires removing all the stickers, then replacing them to "write" letters.
