In this step we'll solve the four edge pieces of the middle layer, and by that we'll actually complete the first two layers (a.k.a F2L).įlip the cube upside down so the solved layer will be on the bottom. Step 3: Solving the edge pieces of the middle layer If a white corner piece is located on the top layer but in the wrong place (see wrong image above) or incorrectly oriented in its place, just insert a non-white corner there, and by that the white corner piece will go back to the bottom layer. The first is orienting the corner so the white sticker will show on one of the side faces (done by- R' D2 R D), then Solving using the second case solution (R' D' R). Solving a corner that its white sticker is in opposite to the upper face (the third case above), is done in two steps. The following examples cover all possible cases for this step: Remember! Bring the white edge pieces to the white center, and not the white center to the edge pieces. For example, when solving the white in our case- the green center piece is to the left of the red center piece, therefore the green-white edge piece should to be solved to the left of the red-white edge piece (see image). Since the center pieces cannot be moved relatively to each other it's important to solve the edge pieces correctly in relation to each other. In addition, it is best to start with the white/yellow colors as they are the easiest colors for quick recognition which is important for speedsolving. For this time, choose the white as well, so the images along the solution will be relevant to your solving process. In this step we have four pieces to solve. Step 1: Solving the edge pieces of the top layer Therefore the solution is divided into steps each of which solves number of pieces without destroying the ones completed on previous steps. Solving the Rubik's cube is made piece by piece, just like any other puzzle. Now you know everything you need to start and learn how to solve a Rubik's Cube! So, proceed and solve the Rubik's Cube, for good. One of the last example (only if animations are turned on).įor further explanations and full move notation: Full move notation page. Besides, all the algorithms are followed by animations like the Of a face (like B or D), temporarily twist the cube so that face will become the F face which is the easiest face to determine the cw/ccw direction.)ĭon't be worried about it, you'll easily get used to these move notations. (If you're having difficulty in finding the CW/C-CW direction It doesn't matter how hard you will try scrambling the cube, it will just stay that way.Ī sequence of moves is called an algorithm. For example, the blue center piece will always be opposite to the green center piece (on a standard color-scheme cube). The solving process is actually bringing all corner and edge pieces to the "already solved" center pieces (meaning there are only 20 pieces to solve out of the 26).
For that reason they are already "solved". Important! The center pieces are part of the core and subsequently cannot move relatively to each other. The core is the inside of the Rubik's Cube, which holds all the pieces together and is attached to the center pieces with rotatable axes. There are three types of pieces: (see image)Ĭorner piece: has three different color stickers on it (there are 8 corner pieces in the cube)Įdge piece: has two different color stickers on it (there are 12 edge pieces in the cube)Ĭenter piece: has one color sticker on it (6 center pieces, all are attached to the core) The Rubik's cube is actually a 26 pieces puzzle. This is the image-based solution (Ideal for old browsers, mobiles or tablet devices).įor the animation-based version of the solution (java applets).
