How to Solve a Rubik’s Cube 3×3: Solving a Rubik’s cube is the process of arranging the cube’s faces so that each face has only one color.
The Rubik’s cube has six faces, each with a different color. The goal is to arrange the cube so that each face has only one color.
There are many methods to solve a Rubik’s cube, but the beginner’s method is the easiest to learn.
It involves dividing the cube into layers and solving each layer one at a time. Here are the steps to solve a Rubik’s cube 3×3 using the beginner’s method:
Step 1: White cross: Start with the white face.
- First, make a white cross paying attention to the color of the side center pieces.
You can try to do this without reading the instructions.
- Use this stage to familiarize yourself with the puzzle and see how far you can get without help. This step is relatively intuitive because there are no solved pieces to watch out for.
Just practice and don’t give up easily.
Try to move the white edges to their places without messing up the ones already fixed.
Step 2: White corners: In this step, arrange the white corner pieces to finish the first face.
If you are very persistent and you managed to do the white cross without help, then you can try to do this one as well.
If you don’t have patience, I’ll give you some clues.
Twist the bottom layer so that one of the white corners is directly under the spot where it’s supposed to go on the top layer.
Now, do one of the three algorithms according to the orientation of the piece, aka, in which direction the white sticker is facing.
If the white corner piece is where it belongs but turned wrong, then first you have to pop it out.
Next Move: Second layer: In this step, we will solve the middle layer of the Rubik’s cube.
This step is a bit more complicated than the previous two, but don’t worry, you can do it!
The goal is to get all the middle layer pieces in place, with the correct colors facing up.
Next Move: Yellow cross: In this step, we will solve the yellow cross on the top of the Rubik’s cube. This step is a bit tricky, but with a little practice, you’ll get the hang of it.
Next Move: Yellow corners: In this step, we will solve the yellow corners on the top of the Rubik’s cube. This is the final step, and once you’ve completed it, you’ve solved the Rubik’s cube.
I hope this helps you solve your Rubik’s cube! Good luck! 🤞.
