The face you are looking directly at in this picture is now the U face (it was the D face for when you were doing the second layer edges). We are going to re-orient our faces for this algorithm. Now have a look at your last layer, and in particular, look at the last layer face - there are 4 possible patterns of LL edges that you may see.Īll the edges are already oriented correctly. Note that your cube may have a different colour opposite white (e.g. On my cube, white is opposite yellow, therefore yellow is the U face for all last layer algorithms on my cube. This means that the white side is the D side for all last layer algorithms. The white side will be on the bottom for the remainder of the solution. Once you have completed the first two layers ("F2L"), hold the cube so that the white side is on the bottom. the first layer - white side in this example) on the bottom. The cube should now be solved! :)Īll last layer algorithms are performed with the cross (i.e. flip the corners.Ĥ.Permute the edges (1 alg) - i.e. get the corners in the correct position in 3D space (don't worry if they still need to be rotated).ģ.Orient the corners (1 alg + mirror alg) - i.e.
form a cross on the U face.Ģ.Permute the corners (1 alg) - i.e. The last layer ("LL") is done in 4 steps:ġ.Orient the edges (2 algs) - i.e. Performing this algorithm: R2 U2 F R2 F' U2 R' U R' The edge piece must be rotated out, then start with either one of the algorithms as shown above.Ģ. Then the algorithm is: U' L' U L U F U' F'.įlipping one edge into a correct positionġ. The algorithm for this case is: U R U' R' U' F' U Fīefore you perform this algorithm, choose the left face(in this pic is green center) so that the face will be your front. I'm going to use the red/ green edge for this example. There are many more algs, but let's just learn the essential one first.įirst, turn the cube so the finish face is on the bottom, then, locate a middle layer edge that is currently sitting in the last layer. You only need to learn one algorithm (plus the mirror algorithm) for the second layer. Insert the 4 middle layer edges (each edge is inserted individually). This is what the first layer should look like when finished.Īll the four corners are correctly placedġ. into the last layer), and then re-insert it into the first layer the correct way around. You need to get it out of the first layer (ie. The same principle applies if a first layer corner piece is in the correct first layer corner position but needs to be flipped around. When working with a first layer corner piece that is in the first layer (but in the wrong first layer corner position), you will need to get it out of the first layer into the last layer, then insert it into the correct first layer corner position. Or, if you were using a different colour for the cross ('colour X'), start with a corner that does not have the 'colour X' part of the corner on the face opposite the 'colour X' face. If there are multiple first layer corners in the last layer (there usually will be), start with one that does not have the white part of the corner on the face opposite the white face. Start with a first layer corner that is sitting in the last layer. Here are some tips for inserting the top layer corners: Inserting the first layer corners should be done intuitively, not by learning algorithms. The first thing to do is examine your cube and locate all of the top layer edge pieces - they will be sitting in either the first layer or the last layer. Once you have completed the cross, completing the first layer requires inserting each of the 4 corners in separately. Here is a pic of what a correctly formed cross look like. You can't put any white edge piece in an arm of the cross because the other colour on the edge cubie must match up with it's centre on the middle layer. the 4 arms of the cross) which have specific positions. I prefer to start with the white cross because I find white easier to quickly identify on a completely scrambled cube, however, you can use any colour. Now, here are some tips to get you started.

Until you can do this, I wouldn't bother attempting the rest of the cube! So, spend some time playing with the cube and familiarising yourself with how to move the pieces around the cube. You need to understand it and solve it without learning algorithms. I believe that the first layer should be done intuitively. The First Layer The first layer is solved in two stages: but first you need to learn the move notation. This page will help beginners and dummies on how to solve the Rubik's cube.
