To solve a Rubik's Cube easily using the beginner's method, follow these main steps:

  1. Solve the White Cross (First Layer Edges):
    • Choose the white face to start.
    • Find white edge pieces and align their non-white color with the center pieces of the adjacent faces.
    • Rotate pieces so the white parts form a cross on the white face, matching the side colors with the centers
  1. Solve the White Corners (Complete First Layer):
    • Locate white corner pieces on the top layer.
    • Position each corner between the two center colors it belongs to.
    • Use a simple sequence (e.g., right-hand algorithm) to insert the corner correctly without disturbing the cross
  1. Solve the Middle Layer Edges:
    • Find the edge pieces without yellow and place them in the correct middle layer positions.
    • Use algorithms to move edges from the top layer to the middle layer without disrupting the solved first layer
  1. Make a Yellow Cross on the Last Layer:
    • Use a specific algorithm to orient the yellow edges on the top face to form a yellow cross.
    • The sequence is repeated until the yellow cross appears
  1. Position the Yellow Edges Correctly:
    • Rotate the yellow edges to match the adjacent center colors.
    • Use an algorithm to cycle the edges until all edges are correctly positioned
  1. Position the Yellow Corners:
    • Place all yellow corners in their correct spots (orientation may still be wrong).
    • Use a corner-switching algorithm to cycle the corners into place
  1. Orient the Yellow Corners (Finish the Cube):
    • With corners in the correct position, orient them correctly by holding the cube with an unsolved corner in front-right-top.
    • Apply the corner orientation algorithm (e.g., R' D' R D) repeatedly until the corner is oriented, then rotate the top layer to the next unsolved corner and repeat.
    • This step may look like it scrambles the cube temporarily but will solve it once all corners are oriented

This layer-by-layer approach is straightforward and widely used by beginners. Watching tutorial videos can help visualize these steps better

. If you want, you can also use online solvers where you input your cube's scramble and get step-by-step solutions

. In summary, the beginner method solves the cube in these phases:

  • White cross
  • White corners
  • Middle layer edges
  • Yellow cross
  • Position yellow edges
  • Position yellow corners
  • Orient yellow corners

Practice each step slowly, and with time you'll be able to solve the Rubik's Cube easily
