So if you've never solved a cube before it may seem impossibly hard
But today I'll be teaching you a method that I used to teach many people who did not believe they'd ever be able to solve
The cube and if anything along the way becomes unclear and you need more examples
Then you can check the example solve which I have a link to in the description with that being said it's time for you to
Solve your first cube. So the first thing you do is find the white centerpiece and hold that on top
Next what you do is solve the white cross, but we also need the colors on the side to line up
So here's how you do it. Find a white piece on the bottom layer, like this one, but not this one.
This one is a corner piece. It has three colors on it. We want these ones, these edge ones in the middle.
So we're gonna take this one, make sure you have the white on top,
take this piece from the bottom and just move it along the bottom until you find that it's underneath the correct colored center.
Because this one's white and green and this one is a green center.
So then what you do once it's there is just move it up to the top by turning the green face 180 degrees.
So basically just do that until you solve the entire
white cross and these colors on the side also line up. But I'm going to show you what might happen that will be a bit tricky.
So here I have found a white and orange piece.
So I will move it down along the bottom until it's under the orange center and then turn it 180 degrees
till it's on the top. But these colors should be switched.
So what you do in this case is move this over to the side here like this and then turn the top
counterclockwise, move this up here and
and then put everything back. And lastly what could happen is you're looking for
the last piece of the cross and it's not anywhere on the bottom, it might be in
the middle here. So if it's in the middle what you can do is just move it into the
bottom. We'll move it down into the bottom, move it out of the way so that we
can fix this cross piece. And now you can just solve it as usual. Alright once
you've solved the whole cross make sure all these side colors match up with the
centers as well, then just turn the cube upside down. So now I'm going to teach
you a really important sequence of four moves that will help you with everything
else in the cube.
So just hold the cube like I am, put your left thumb on the front.
here and then put your right thumb on the bottom, fingers up here, and then do this.
Turn the right side up, turn the top with your right hand like that, turn the right side down,
and then turn the top with your left hand like this. Now just repeat that. So right side up,
push with the right hand, right side down, push with left hand. So do it a few times so you can
do it quick, and now we're also going to be learning how to do that with our left hand,
because it's going to be important as well. So hold your left hand like this, right thumb on front,
And then move up with your left hand, push with your left hand, move down, and push with your right hand.
Up, push with left, down, push with right.
Okay, so once you can do both of those, we're now going to be solving the rest of the white side.
So what you have to do is look in the top for a corner with white on it, such as this one, and then look
at the other colors on it as well. This is green and this is orange.
So these three make up one piece, and so we have to look at where that needs to go.
So it goes between the white, green, and orange centers.
white, orange, green. So it goes over here.
So we're going to move the top until it goes right on top of where it should go, and then now you can insert this
into here using two different ways.
One way is by holding it on the right side like this, and then doing the right hand four moves.
One, two, three, four, and oh, it just happened to be solved.
But sometimes you'll have to repeat it before it ends up being solved. So here's another example.
Here's white green red so it goes between white green and red centers
So we're gonna move the top until it goes right up above where it should go and then we're going to repeat those moves
