3×3x3 Beginner’s Method

Simple way to solve the cube.

Build the white cross, correctly permuted; it should be exactly like the one in the applet.



Turn the cube upside down.



Insert corners.


Insert missing edges.


Orient cross on top layer.
Tip: You only need two algs for this step: F R U R’ U’ F’ and F U R U’ R’ F’.


Permute cross.
Tip: Only one alg is necessary: R U2′ R’ U’ R U’ R’ (Anti-Sune)


Orient corners.
Tip: You only need to know one algorithm for this: R’ D R D’


Permute corners.
Tip: You only need one algorithm for this step (either A perm), but I recommend 3.

A permutations xUR’UL2U’RUL2U2
xU’LU’R2UL’U’R2U2
E permutation (LU’R)D2(R’UL’)(RU’)LD2(L’UR’)
