You should now be looking at four edges all oriented correctly.įor the “Dot” case shown in the first picture, just do either of these algorithms to get a different case. Make sure that the yellow bar (the two edges and the middle sticker) is horizontal, then do: The third image shows the “Line” shape, where the two yellow pieces showing are opposite one another. If done correctly, you should now be looking at the yellow cross. Do the required number of U or U' moves to get this L as shown in the picture: the corner that the two edges trap needs to be in the top left. If you’re not a seasoned cube solver, the best approach is the Beginner’s Method, also known as the layer-by-layer method. You can complete the Rubik’s cube correctly through various methods, and they involve more than two moves. When you have an “L” shape, where the two yellow pieces showing are adjacent one another. A properly scrambled Rubik’s cube will need more than two moves to solve. If you are in a hurry you can speed up the process by doing two jumps at once with this: To transform the Magic Cube from one state to the other, you have to apply the following short algorithm, watching out for the L shape and the line to be positioned as required: If the edges are solved in a plus shape like the cross we made at the start (the last image), you can skip this stage.īeside the solved cross you can also have a “Dot”, an “L” shape or a “Line” as pictured above. These are the four possible edge positions that you can have:ĭo this to transfrom to the next state: F R U R' U' F' Either none, all, or two of the edges will already be oriented correctly (the yellow part is facing up). The next will move these pieces around and thus solve the cube. In this step will orient all of the pieces so that the yellow face is facing up for all of them. We're going to solve the top layer edges in two steps. 2/3 of the puzzle is solved, and every piece left to be solved has yellow on it somewhere. You will have to perform this process no more than three times - and hopefully just once.We're nearly there now. If after completing the process below, you find that the corners are not quite yet finished, match up your new pattern and perform this sequence once again. Don't concern yourself if your yellow and red sides are not matching up like in my images. Spin the entire cube (keeping the White Side Up) until you can match one of the 7 patterns below. If they need to be swapped, perform the following procedure. Once you properly position the Orange corners you will need to check the positions of the Red corners. If the Orange corners were diagonally across from each other, you will need to rotate the Top until the Top Left Corner is actually in the correct position and then perform the following procedure to move the other Orange corner into its proper position. If they are actually backwards (in each other's position) then perform the following procedure to swap them. If the corners are actually in their correct locations (even if their colors are not quite yet facing the correct directions), then this step is complete. NOTE: The appearance of the many Orange stickers on the two top corners is only to show that the Orange stickers can be facing any direction. You will need to skip to the diagonal procedure. NOTE: If the Orange corners are diagonally across from each other If the two ORANGE corners are next to each other then rotate the top layer until you can match your Rubik's Cube to the picture below. It does not matter at this time which directions the ORANGE colors face. We will work through the remaining steps this way.įind the two corners on the top layer that have ORANGE on them. Before we start the next section I want you to flip the Rubik's Cube upside down, so that the Blue face is facing down.
