Know Your Cube

Before we start solving, let’s understand the basic components of your Rubik’s Cube

Center Pieces ( 6 pieces total )

Fixed position pieces that determine the color of each face. These never move relative to each other.

Edge Pieces ( 12 pieces total )

Pieces with two colors that sit between the center pieces on each face.

Corner Pieces ( 8 pieces total )

Pieces with three colors that sit at the corners where three faces meet.

7-Step Solution Method

Follow our proven step-by-step method to solve your Rubik’s Cube. Each step builds on the previous one.

1 Solve the White Cross (Bottom Layer)

Form a white cross at the bottom of your cube

Goal: Form a white cross at the bottom

Align yellow center with blue center
Rotate white edge pieces to the top face
Position and rotate until edges align with correct centers

2 Solve the White Corners (Bottom Layer)

Place all white corners in their correct positions

Goal: Place all white corners

Find the correct white corner (e.g., Blue-Red-White)
Use Algorithm 1 to insert corners properly
Repeat until all corners are solved

Algorithm 1:

R U R’ U’

3 Solve the Middle Layer Edges

Position four edge pieces in the middle layer

Goal: Place four edge pieces in the middle
