How to Solve a 3x3 Rubik's Cube

13. Solving the Corners: Two Corner Pieces Right

Rotate so that the side color gets matched up best, *keep completed side facing back* R' F R' B2 R F' R' B2 R2

11. Solving the Yellow: Yellow Cross

(Orient Yellow Layer so a yellow corner is facing left) *Right Sune* R U R' U R U2 R'

12. Solving the Yellow: Fish

(Point fish towards bottom left) *Yellow Right Corner Piece Facing You*: *Right Sune* R U R' U R U2 R' *Yellow Right Corner Piece Facing Right*: *Y' L' U' L U' L' U2 L

4. Solving Middle Layer: Top to Right

(White faces down, matched side piece faces you) U R U' R' F R' F' R

5. Solving Middle Layer: Top to Left

(White faces down, matched side piece faces you) U' L' U L F' L F L'

8. Solving the Yellow: Lonely Yellow Center Piece

*(Do Hook or Bar Move)* Hook: F U R U' R' F' Bar: F R U R' U' F'

6. Solving the Yellow: Yellow "L"/Hook

*(Make hook face top and left)* F U R U' R' F'

7. Solving the Yellow: Yellow Bar

*(Make the bar horizontal to you)* F R U R' U' F'

14. Solving the Corners: No Same Color Corners

*No matter how the corners oriented:* R' F R' B2 R F' R' B2 R2 (Move 2 Times)

15. Solving 4 Edge Pieces: 4 to Swap Adjacent

*Orient cube so adjacent colors are on Right Side* M2 U M2 U M' U2 M2 U2 M' U2

9. Solving the Yellow: Overlapping Squares

*Right Sune* (No orientation) R U R' U R U2 R'

10. Solving the Yellow: Sign/Billboard

*Right Sune* R U R' U R U2 R'

2. When Matching Side Piece with Center Color

*Rotate it to appropriate side*, then F F

3. Bottom White Facing Down

*Rotate to according colors*, put piece in back corner, L' B L

1. White Side Piece on Side when making cross

*White side piece facing you*, F' T' R

15. Solving 4 Edge Pieces: One Full Side Complete: Counter-Clockwise Rotation

Face completed side away from you, R U' R U R U R U' R' U' R2

15. Solving 4 Edge Pieces: One Full Side Complete: Clockwise Rotation

Face completed side away from you, R2 U R U R' U' R' U' R' U R'

15. Solving 4 Edge Pieces: 4 to Swap Opposite

No matter how Cube is oriented, M2 U M2 U2 M2 U M2
