Rubik’s Cube Solution for Beginners Leyan Lo March 14, 2008 The First Layer Solving the first layer is a two-step process: solve the edges to make a cross and then solve the corners. Remember that edges and corners have multiple stickers and belong in a specific position! Correct Incorrect Solving the cross This step is the most intuitive step, and it takes the most words to describe completely. Skip this section if you are able to solve it on your own! The very first thing you need to do is find an edge you want to solve. This would be any edge with a white sticker on it. If the edge is in the second layer Case 1 Case 2 1. Figure out where the edge belongs by checking the non-white sticker on the edge. For case 1, the other sticker is red, so the edge must belong in the right X above the red center. For case 2, the other sticker is green so it belongs in the front X . Whichever X the edge belongs in is the goal . 2. Figure out how to bring the white sticker to the top. For case 1, an F’ move would bring it to the front X , while for case 2, an R move would bring it to the right X . Whichever X the white sticker ends up in is the target . 3. Move the goal into the target with either a U , U’ , or U2 move. Then, move the edge to the target the way you figured out in step 2. Finally, return the target to the goal by undoing the U , U’ , or U2 move you made before. For case 1, the set of moves would be (U F’ U’) . For case 2, the set of moves would be (U’ R U) . If the edge is in the first or last layer Use an F or F’ move to bring the edge into the second layer and use the method above to solve. Solving the corners For the remainder of this solution, you will hold the cross on the bottom. This makes the remaining pieces easier to find. Again, the first thing you need to do is find a corner you want to solve. This would be any corner with a white sticker on it. If the corner is in the last layer 1. Figure out where the corner belongs by checking the two non-white stickers on the corner. Wherever the corner belongs in is the goal .
