How to solve a rubix cube (3*3)
Here's the beginner's method
Before starting we need to know some basic algorithms in solving a rubix cube
we mark every face of the puzzle with a letter F (Front), U (Up), R (Right), B (Back), L (Left), D (Down). A letter by itself means a 90 degree clockwise rotation of the face. A letter followed by an apostrophe is a counterclockwise turn.

You need to remember this algorithms as it will help in solving the cube
The Solution Step By Step
- First make a white cross
The white edge pieces will be in one of three possible locations.
![]() | On the top layer |
![]() | On the middle layer |
![]() | On the bottom layer |
For all of these, it doesn't matter the orientation of the edge piece (which side is white and which is coloured). We will fix that up in the next step if need be.
Now we will place each white edge piece one after the other. The order in which you place them doesn't matter.
- Move the edge piece down to the bottom layer.
- Rotate the bottom layer to align the piece directly below the place on the white face where you want it to be.
- Depending on if the white panel of the edge piece is facing down or to the side use one of the methods listed below to move it to it's correct position on the white face.
- Pick the next white edge piece to place.
Depending on whether your white edge piece ends up with the white panel on the yellow face or not there are two ways to slot it into place.
