🧩 Step-by-Step Guide to Solving a Rubik’s Cube (3×3)
Step 1: Solve the White Cross
Goal: Form a plus sign on the white face with matching edge colors on adjacent sides.
Tip: Align white edge pieces with their center colors, then rotate them to the white face.
Step 2: Solve the White Corners
Goal: Insert the white corner pieces to complete the first layer.
Method: Use the “Right-hand algorithm” (R U Ri U R U2 Ri) to position corners correctly.
Step 3: Solve the Middle Layer Edges
Goal: Position the edge pieces of the middle layer.
Method: Use algorithms to move edge pieces from the top layer to the middle without disturbing the solved white layer:
For left insertion: U' L' U L U F U' F'
For right insertion: U R U' R' U' F' U F
Step 4: Create the Yellow Cross
Goal: Form a yellow cross on the top face.
Method: Use the “F R U Ri Ui Fi” algorithm repeatedly until the cross appears.
Step 5: Solve the Yellow Edges
Goal: Match the yellow cross edges with the correct center colors.
Method: Use the “R U Ri U R U2 Ri” algorithm to rotate edges into place.
Step 6: Position the Yellow Corners
Goal: Move yellow corners to their correct locations (orientation doesn’t matter yet).
Method: Use “U R Ui Li U Ri Ui L” until all corners are in the right spot.
Step 7: Orient the Yellow Corners
Goal: Rotate the yellow corners to complete the cube.
Method: Hold the cube so the misoriented corner is in the front-right and apply “Ri Di R D” until it’s correct. Rotate the top layer to the next corner and repeat.
