You would notice that the pieces need to be moved in a counterclockwise manner. The three remaining edge pieces will have to be rotated on the top layer. Orient that with its centerpiece and hold it at the back. Note: To execute this algorithm, find one edge piece that has been solved. To do this, you must execute the U-Perm algorithm.ġ1. However, the edges are yet to be oriented with their centerpieces. Repeat this until all the corner pieces are oriented correctly. Match those corner pieces with their centerpiece, position it towards your left and perform the T-Perm algorithm. Once done, you need to look for two corner pieces that are adjacent to each other and are solved. Position this towards your top left and execute the T-Perm algorithm. In such a case, you must search for one solved corner. Situation2: If no two adjacent corners are solved. You can repeat this algorithm until all the corner pieces are solved. What you will then have on the face is an unsolved corner on which you should perform this T-Perm algorithm. Match the colours to the face they belong to, and keep this solved face to your left. Situation1: If two corners adjacent to each other are of the same colour. Rotate the right face counterclockwiseġ4. There are two simple algorithms you can use for this step.ġ3. The next step involves permuting all the remaining pieces of the cube into their correct positions. Step 4: Permutation of the last layer(PLL) You can repeat this algorithm until all the colours match with the face. Situation 3: If two opposite pieces match then keep the unsolved piece to top left by rotating the top layer and apply the algorithm.
Situation 2: If two corner pieces are solved then keep them vertical to your right and then apply the algorithm. Situation 1: If only one corner is matched then you have to keep that piece to the top left and apply the algorithm. You can encounter the following situations while applying this algorithm. Note: Remember to hold the cube in such a way that the unsolved corner is at the top left position. For this step, you must use the Sune algorithm. You then need to get all the yellow coloured pieces facing upwards. You can repeat the algorithm until you get the yellow cross on the top. Once you have executed the algorithm, you would have a yellow cross on the face. In either of the cases, you can use this algorithmĤ. Situation 1: You would encounter a dot in the centre of the face. However, you would now be in one out of three situations. Now that you are done solving two layers of the Rubik’s Cube, you need to solve the third or the last layer. This will help you finish solving the second layer. You can repeat this algorithm until you get the desired edge colours placed in accordance with the colour of the centrepiece. These algorithms will help you get the desired edges into their positions. Situation 2: If the edge piece should be placed at the back.ħ.
Situation 1: If the edge piece should be placed in front.ġ. To position your pieces correctly, you must keep that face to your right, then see if it should be placed in front or at the back. Remember that the colour of the piece that you are looking for should match with the centre. Therefore, you need to first search for the edges. However, instead of four corners, it now encompasses four edges. Similar to the first step, solving the second layer also involves four pieces. This will bring the piece above its position and repeating the algorithm a few times will bring the piece in its right position. If you notice that a piece is in position but not in the right face, in such a case, you need to bring that piece out of its position using the same algorithm.Keep repeating this algorithm until all the corners fit into the right places. Bring the corner piece above its correct position and apply the algorithm until it is placed correctly.The above algorithm will help you locate all the corners in the right places.
Once you have created the white cross, you can use some algorithms to solve this puzzle in no time and bring it to its original form.ģ. As a beginner, consider starting with the centre with the sticker or the white centre. A cross on a Rubik’s Cube encompasses four edges and the edges are corresponding to the centres on the other side. To get started with solving this beginner Rubik’s Cube, you would need to unscramble it until a white cross is formed on the face.
