Hi Adam,
Scramble Squares are deceptively difficult. Maybe that is because there are 95,126,814,720 possible combinations (almost 100 billion).
I wrote a program to solve the puzzles. (geeky, I know) :)
Another Asker had sent me a picture of their pieces.

I ran it through my program to get the solution, and then rearranged the pieces to show what the solution would look like.

But I also found solution sites online.

It has an interface that lets you describe the faces of the 9 squares, and solves the puzzle in a few seconds.
If you cannot make that work, feel free to email me with a picture of your puzzle (or a link online if you can find it) and I will solve it and show you the solution. Or you can post it on to your original question using the 'Additional Information' feature'
Good luck and have fun!
