The Best Website For Learning How to Solve a Rubik's Cube
Step 1 = The First layer
The First Layer is the aim to solve a whole side with one colour (usually white) whilst also solving the bottom layer of the cube.
- To do the first step you need to find a white corner piece that has a blue and orange tile next to it. - There are many different cases and vary between every solve. They are shown below.
Each step below will tell you how to solve each case:
- Then perform the algorithm R. If the white face is facing upwards do - R U2 R' and then do the steps previously mentioned.
- Do this for all the other corner pieces by performing the written steps above - position the piece so that the white side is on the top right or left of the blue face. Then perform the algorithm R or L.
Step 2 = Orient the top Layer
The Cases are shown below and then the following instructions show how to solve each case.
Algorithm = (R U R' U R U2 R')
- 0 Yellow Tiles on the top face = Perform the algorithm until a yellow tile is seen on the Top Face
- 1 Yellow Tiles on the top face = Move the yellow tile to the bottom right hand corner and then perform the algorithm - May need to do it more than once.
- 2 Yellow Tiles on the top face = Before you perform the algorithm make sure that one Yellow Tile or more is facing you or on the front face and then perform the algorithm - You will then need to repeat the algorithm again with the singular Yellow Tile by following the step above.
Step 3 = Permute the last layer
SOLVE THE CUBE
The steps for the last layer cases are shown below along with the cases.
ALGORITHM = R' F R' B2 R F' R' B2 R2 U'
- Rotate the top face using algorithm U until one or two matching colours align with its bottom layer.
