Think solving a Rubik’s Cube is impossible?
Not anymore!
With this super simple method, even a beginner can solve a Rubik’s Cube — step by step.
You don’t need to be a genius. Just follow this guide and you’ll do it!
🎯 The Method We’ll Use:
We’ll follow the Layer-by-Layer (LBL) method – it’s the easiest and most popular way to solve the cube.

đź§± Understanding Your Cube
Before starting, understand the cube:
- It has 6 sides: White, Yellow, Red, Orange, Blue, Green.
- The center piece never moves – it tells the color of that side.
- Your goal: Make each side one solid color.
📦 What You’ll Need:
- A standard 3×3 Rubik’s Cube
- Patience (just a little)
- About 30–60 minutes for the first solve
✅ Step-by-Step Guide to Solve a Rubik’s Cube
âś… Step 1: Solve the White Cross
Make a plus sign on the white face, matching side colors too.
👉 Look for white edge pieces and align them with the center color of the side.
âś… Step 2: Solve the White Corners
Put white corner pieces in the right place to complete the first white layer.
🔄 Use the R’ D’ R D move to bring white corners to the correct spot.
âś… Step 3: Solve the Middle Layer Edges
Turn the middle layer edge pieces to match the correct color.
Use this algorithm depending on where you want the edge to go:
- To the left: U’ L’ U L U F U’ F’
- To the right: U R U’ R’ U’ F’ U F
🎯 After this, your two bottom layers will be solved.
âś… Step 4: Make a Yellow Cross on Top
Ignore corners now. Just focus on making a yellow + sign on top.
Use this algorithm: F R U R’ U’ F’
Repeat until you get the yellow cross.
âś… Step 5: Solve Yellow Corners
Get all yellow corners in place (don’t worry about rotation yet).
Use: U R U’ L’ U R’ U’ L
Do this until all corners are in the right spot.
âś… Step 6: Rotate Yellow Corners
Now twist the yellow corners so they’re facing the right direction.
Hold the unsolved corner at bottom-right and do: R’ D’ R D
Repeat until it turns, then turn the top face and repeat for the next corner.
âś… Step 7: Position the Final Edges
Last step! Fix the position of the top layer edges using: F2 U L R’ F2 L’ R U F2
👏 Done! You solved the cube!
đź§ Practice Tip:
Your first time might take 30-60 minutes, but after a few tries, you’ll do it in 5-10 minutes!
