Rubik Solving Algorithm

This document provides a step-by-step guide for solving the Rubik's Cube at the beginner level. It describes: 1) Orienting the white face by placing white pieces next to each other using three algorithms. 2) Positioning the yellow corners on the top face by cycling pieces with algorithms or swapping diagonal corners. 3) Orienting the yellow corners correctly by holding specific unsolved pieces in the front-right-up position and applying the R' D' R D algorithm twice or four times as needed.

First two layers - F2L

Permutate the last layer - PLL
2x2x2 CUBE
Step1: White Face
Start with the white face. This is the easy part so you can try to do this without using the
algorithms.

We need to place the white pieces next to each other making sure that the side colors match, as
seen on the first image. Here are the algorithms to move a piece from the back face to the front.
There are three possible orientations of the piece so we need three algorithms to position the
white pieces.

Case 1: D' R' D


Case 2: R B R'
Case 3: D' R D B2 D' R D

When the piece is in its position but oriented wrong first we need to send it to the back layer and
do one of the three cases above (D' R D).

Step 2: Position Yellow Corners


Turn the cube with the white face down because we won't need to work with that anymore. Turn
the upper layer to see how many pieces can be moved to their final position. The orientation
doesn't matter at this stage.

1. Only one piece can be moved to its final position: Do U R U' L' U R' U' L holding the correct
piece in the front-right-up position to cycle the other three corners.
2. Swap two pieces in the top front: L F' L' D' L' D F
3. Swap two diagonal corners: F L F L' D' L' D

Step 3: Orient Yellow Corners


At this point all pieces are on their final position, we just have to orient the yellow corners.

Hold the puzzle in your hands with an unsolved yellow piece in the FRU (front-right-up) position,
then do the R' D' R D algorithm twice or four times until that specific piece is oriented well.
Making U' moves bring another unsolved piece to the FRU spot and repeat R’ D’ R D until this
specific piece is ok. In each step the algorithm needs to be performed twice to turn the corner
counterclockwise and four times to turn it clockwise.
Examples
1. Headlights: Two yellow stickers facing to the front: (R' D' R D)x4 U' (R' D' R D)x2
2. Yellow on the sides in the front layer: (R' D' R D)x2 U' (R' D' R D)x4
3. Three corners need to be turned counterclockwise (R' D' R D)x2 U' (R' D' R D)x2 U' (R' D' R
D)x2
