![]() Now if you hold your cube strait in front of your face, the face of the cube directly in front of you is called the F face, which stands for Front. Face Names: Face names are very simple to understand and they let you know which face to turn while reading cube notation. If you can already solve a 3x3 Rubik’s cube or are familiar with notation and face names, then you can skip this part. Before we start getting into solving the first layer, there are some important things you should learn like how to read cube notation and learning the names of the faces on the cube. This may sound very confusing to you (or not make sense at all) but don’t worry, everything will be explained in the following pages. So first, you solve the first layer, then you orient the last layer, then you permute the last layer. This tutorial uses the same method used in the “Ryan’s Guild to Speed Cubing” except without any steps involving edges. It’s also recommended (if you want to solve fast) that you lubricate your cube by spraying silicone (such as Jig-A-Loo) lube into the cracks of the cube and working the lube around.If you have no experience with solving Rubik’s cubes what so ever, there is an element or memorization required but don’t let this worry you, with practice you’ll remember everything with ease.For example if your cube’s colour scheme is White opposite Yellow, Green opposite Blue, and Red opposite Orange, green and blue will never be adjacent when solved because they are on opposite sides. When a 2x2 cube is solved, the colour scheme will always remain the same no matter how many times you solve.It’s recommended that you read (or at least look over) the “Ryan’s Guild to Speed Cubing” before reading this due to the fact that the method and algorithms are insanely close to being the same. ![]() The 2x2 is like a 3x3 cube without edge or center pieces (displayed in picture beside). This is because solving a 2x2 cube is very closely related to solving a 3x3. It’s strongly advised (but not necessary) to have complete, or at least partial, knowledge of how to solve a 3x3 cube.First of all, you’ll need a 2x2 Rubik’s cube, which you obviously have or you wouldn’t be reading this.Ryan’s Guide to Solving the 2x2 By Ryan Goessl To This! Before you start learning to solve, there are a few things you should have, and a few things you should know: Remember: If you do not have 2 solved pieces next to each other (like the image above with the 2 white pieces) just perform the following algorithm from any angle and repeat from step 1.Ĥ.From This. Place your cube blue side down on the table and the green side facing up.ģ. Rotate the whole of your puzzle until the 2 solved corners are at the back of the cube. First look for 2 corners that are correctly permuted in relation to each other (meaning 2 solved pieces next to each other). There are a few different ways to solve this last layer but as this is the beginners method we will stick to just 1 method and then we can progress on to other ways in a later tutorial.ġ. Hopefully at the end of this step you will have solved your 2x2 Rubik's Cube using the beginners method. In step 3 we are going to permute all of the correctly orientated corners of the last layer. Once you have orientated each piece on the final layer you can move on to the final step and permute these pieces. Again, if you are having trouble understanding the stages in step 2, please watch the video ( LEFT) it will guide you through each stage and hopefully you will have nearly solved your 2x2 cube.
