How To Solve A Rubik's Cube
Similar to a lot of things in technology, solving the Rubik's cube is best done by breaking it down into a series of smaller problems and progressively working towards completion. In solving the cube we will start off with the top layer (the one with the white face) and progressively work towards the bottom layer (the one with the yellow face) layer by layer.
THE PARTS:
EDGE PIECES
Pieces with two colors. There are twelve edge pieces located in the middle rows . .
CORNER PIECES

Pieces with three colors. There are eight corner pieces located on the corners. . .
CENTER PIECES
Pieces with once color. There are six center pieces located in the center of each side, center pieces DO NOT MOVE and represent the color of their side. Center piece colors are always opposite each other.
EACH SIDE OF THE CUBE IS REPRESENTED BY A LETTER
R = Right face - Right side of the cube
L = Left face - Left side of the cube
U = Up face - Top side of the cube
D = Down face - Bottom side of the cube
F = Front face - front side of the cube
B = Back face - Back side of the cube
The letter with an “i” after it means an inverted or counter-clockwise move when looking at that face directly
VERY IMPORTANT
When making the moves above hold your Rubik’s Cube full-face front with the logo on top as shown. Dark grey on the pictures means that the color does not matter. Each move is a 1/4 turn rotation.
