[[Image:Wiki 6x6x6 solved.jpg|160px|thumb|A V-Cube 6 in its solved position.]]
The '''V-Cube 6''' (also known as the '''6x6x6 cube''', and normally referred to as the '''6x6x6''' or '''6x6''') is a twistable [[puzzle]] in the shape of a cube that is cut five times along each of three axes. The only available brand for this puzzle is the [[V-cube]], which was patented by [[Panagiotis Verdes]]. The V-cube 6x6 incorporates a clicking mechanism designed to keep the hidden middle layer in alignment with the rest of the pieces. Several mods have been developed to fix this, most notably the memyselfandpi 6x6 mod, which involves eliminating the clicking mechanism and using pins instead to keep the inner middle layer in alignment.

This puzzle has a total of 96 [[center]] pieces, a total of 48 [[edge]] pieces, and 8 [[corner]]s, and has 1.6 * 10^116 positions.
