Without any hint of exaggeration, this is by far the best tutorial for solving the cube I have come across. Why? 1. All the possible options are clearly highlighted, 2. Clearly and well narrated and every progression simply constructed, 3. The idea is not to solve the puzzle but teach the necessary skills you need for all permutations. I love it! I am 7 years late for the video but got all the benefit!

So I'm 44 years old and never really wanted to learn this, but my kids insisted they wanted to do like the guys in the videos... so I looked up videos to teach them. Many videos. This is the first video I *finally* managed to do it ! Many thanks for the very clear explanations and metholody :)

Can you make the title of this something more click-baity so that it can compete with other tutorials? It's by far the best tutorial on KZfaq that I've seen, so I want others to use it!

Probably THE best tutorial out there. You explain things throughly and simple enough for beginners. Thank you 🙏🏽

Damn, feels good to be back. This is where I first learned to solve the 3x3. Time really flies because now I average about 10-12 seconds every solve (with CFOP). Would have not been possible without the beginner's method 😁

I solved it 4 times so far.. 1st time: 4h 2nd time: 1h 3rd time: 35min 4th time: 16min (without help from this video) It is very satisfying seeing yourself progressing. This is how everything works in life. The more you delicate on a task, the easier it gets ;)

Why this video is good 1.Awesome video 2.Easy understanding 3.Good vocal skills of narrator 4.Broken into steps

This is the definitive Rubik’s cube guide to beginners. looking at other videos on KZfaq, I was confused for months. Then I came across this video and picked up how to solve the first 2 layers in 2 hours!

Best explanation for beginners. I finally solved the entire cube.

5:24 - the daisy 9:50 - the cross 12:55 - first layer corners Righty alg 20:11 - sec layer 24:00 - top line 24:44 - top angle 25:22 - top dot 28:19 - 2 adjacent corners swap 29:48 - 2 diagonal corners swap Do twice! And done. 31:10 - untwisting yellow corners 34:55 - 1 edge solved 36:20 - 0 edge solved

Thank you so much!! notes for all: Lefty algo: L' U' L U Righty algo: R U R' U' Spin right : right face to front Spin left: left face to front small letter f- spin 2 front layers together First layer: to get a white sticker from top to bottom.. place the white sticker and top-front-right corner and do righty alg for second layer- get the - 0 - L0R 000 To get 0 in top layer to R position : U Rightyalgo spinRight Leftyalg To get 0 in top layer to L position : U' Leftyalg spinLeft Rightyalgo for yellow cross: 1. Line - F Rightyalg F' 2. angle - top face looks like - - - -00 -0- f Rightalg f' 3. center dot: line + angle Placing corners in correct position: 1. adjacent swap: rightalg*3 spinRight leftyalg*3 2. diagonal swap: adjacent swap * 2 for last layer(yellow face): yellow face down- place yellow sticker to be twisted to front-bottom-right. do righty algo until yeelow sticker is correct. twist just bottom layer and repeat for edges: 1. one edge correct: correct edge facing front and then Right algo + Lefty Alg + Rightyalg *5 + Leftyalg*5 ( sometimes require one more repetition) 2. no edges correct: same sequence as one edge correct

as an cuber i learned to solve this when I was 9 years old . Now I am 11 and i just forgot the last step , everybody's style was different than mine but this channel exactly fits my method of solving the cube. thanks very much for the whole tutorial!

This year, I got two PB's - both under 10s. It all started 1½ years ago; with THIS tutorial. Of course I use a more advanced method for solving now - but this tutorial was enough to bring me under 1 minute, and as I was more bitten by cubing, I learned new things that allow for faster solve times. So thanks a lot Phil - I owe you a beer if you ever come to Denmark :)

My daughter bought herself a cube...but I've been at it since we got it home! Couldn't figure it out...then I found your tutorial. It took me all day to get used to performing the algorithms without screwing it up, but I did and it's solved!!! Now I can get some sleep (it's 2AM)!!!

Thank u very much, at 78yrs of age and having bought 2 books on solving the rubiks cube and watching about 10 tutorials and on the edge of giving up hope of ever solving the rc I stumbled onto your site and thought I would give it one more go, before throwing it in the bin, I sat and went through all the easy and well explained passages of your brilliant and yet simple tutorial and solved the bloody thing!!!! YES! actually solved it, I was so happy that I nearly wet myself, so a BIG THANKS to you for putting this tutorial, the very best one out there, on here for this old geezer to complete another challenge in its life 😡..me with other tutorials but me with yours..... 🥳😁😁

After buying my first cube on Monday, toying around with it. Found this tutorial, now, just a half hour ago I finally completed the cube! What an amazing feeling that is. Thank you for the tutorial!🙌🏻

Made it using your tutorial. Thank you! Now Im able to solve the cube in 2 mins average. Subbed!

took me literally like 4 hours lmao what’s up quarantine gang 💪🏻😂🤗

I was begging my friend to help me solve a 3x3, he recommended this video. At first, I was confused as hecc on how to do OLL and PLL. And after a month of figuring out, I started to solve the last layer without memorising the notations. And because of that, I can solve the 3x3 in just 3 mins. My oldest PB is 2:29.69 with this method. And since I wanted to make the time lower. So i started to white cross instead of daisy (its basically CFOP) and learned f2l, oll and pll. So because of that I got a 19.04 after 3 months of learning. Guys, doing something hard continously means you never give up trying. Edit: i didnt even remember saying this

Thank you! I followed your guide and memorized the moves. I am now able to finish my rubiks cube. And have done so multiple times because of you.

Some time stamps for you guys (if you remember which one you are on) 0:00 Introduction 0:53 Basic Concepts 2:42 Notation 5:15 Cross 11:40 First Layer Corners 17:07 Second Layer edges 23:14 Top yellow Cross 25:44 Positioning The Last Layer Corners 30:48 Twisting Last The Layer Cornerss 34:02 Positioning The Last Layer Edges 37:05 Closing thoughts

Guys, THIS IS THE BEST TUTORIAL. I started off not knowing a thing, I didn’t even know the pieces. No joke, this tutorial, with practice, took me about a day to figure out. Do not be discouraged at times, even if it might seem impossible. Try your best to memorize the algorithms and moves. I promise that if you’re dedicated, this guide will indeed work. Thank you so much to the creators of this tutorial. I Solved it!

This video made me realized that solving a rubik's cube is both much more simpler and much more complicated than I thought.

by far the most comprehensive and understandable tutorial, even after all these years.

Thank you! Finally! I solved my first ever rubik's cube 🎉 So happy in this achievement! I watched some tutorials and was quite disappointed because I messed the cube and had to start all over again. But in your tutorial, you laid some scenarios that may happen and that helped me a lot! Kudos! 🙌

It's 1.22am and I just solved my first rubiks cube ever! I'm ecstatic (and tired!). Thank you so much!

Edit : I have solved my cube 2 months ago. Apparently, my cube was fell out once and some of the parts got twisted. That's why i can't form the yellow cross.

Been trying to solve this off and on for the past couple of years. Out of all the videos I’ve seen this was the best tutorial which helped me solve it. Thank you!

I watched several tutorials before & was uneble to even understand how the 3x3 Rubik's cube should be solved. This time I was able to do so for the first time in my life! Great video - thank you!

Who else finished it for their first time and doesn’t want to scramble it again 😂

No one in the whole entire youtube can be as clear as this guys is.

I swear this is THE BEST tutorial ever. After watching this tutorial over and over again, I memorized the steps and can successfully solve the cube on my own!!

30:34 For anyone who still has two adjacent corners in the incorrect position, my mistake was I had the two incorrect corners facing me rather than facing the right before starting the sequence to solve them.

17:12 : Second Layer Edge 29:43 : Diagonal Swap 28:19 : Adjacent Swap 30:53 : Last Corner Twists 34:06 : Solving Last Layer Edges

1:31 "now let's take the cube apart and" Me: *CHUCKS RUBIKS CUBE*

THE BEST TUTORIAL ON YT NO CAP,,, the cube did behave weirdly a few times, but yall just dont stop, it sure will work sooonn !!

Hands down, the BEST and ONLY video you need to solve it ! Thankyou !

First time in 25 years, I have solved the Rubiks Cube. A tick off my bucket list. I feel like I've just won the lottery or something.

Best guide out there. NEW LEARNERS KNOW THIS you do not have to be a genius to solve these things. This guide (as I now have learned) simply shows you the algorithms to apply to different situations. If you are patient and focused, you can master it in a a few hours. Now, all my friends are super impressed and think I'm some visual memory genius when in actual fact, it's the simplest thing that anyone can learn. I try to teach my friends how to do it as well but they give up 5 minutes in thinking they have to be Einstein but if you simply persist, you'll learn how easy it really is.

Great tutorial. Helped me solve my first rubik’s cube. Easy to follow instructions. This was the 5th video I’ve come across and I understood the sequences almost instantly in this video compared to the other 4

i solved thank you 13:33 20:18 right 21:00 left 28:19 swap 2 corners 29:49 fixing yellow thing 31:46 yelow thing 36:29 final one 36:49 final final one

I spent a week straight writing notes, rewatching the video, and get very frustrated. On day 5 I solved it with my notes. I then worked on memorizing my notes. Now I can solve it in less then 2 minutes (without notes). Thank you very much for making this video! Best time 1:50

That moment , when you finally solve the cube that you bought in your 3rd grade , after 13 years . Pure Bliss . Thanks mate

34:56 I've just figured out that this particular algorithm moves those 3 unsolved squares in a counter clockwise direction, which is why occasionally you will have to do it twice to solve the cube (as you demonstrate at 35:33). However, knowing this fact if when you look at your cube and you can see that your 3 squares need to move clockwise once to solve instead of moving counter clockwise twice you just need to reverse the algorithm to solve it in one sequence. So instead of R1 L1 R5 L5 to move counter clockwise twice solving the cube, use L1 R1 L5 R5 to move clockwise once to solve the cube. I know this is 7 years after you made this video but this video is the only reason I can solve the cube today so efficiently. I just started tinkering with it about 2 months ago and your video explained what to do so well that I can solve a cube in about 3 minutes and I keep getting faster. I really wanted to thank you for this guide and since I just figured out this trick I wanted to share it with you and your audience. I also figured out in the case of all 4 squares being different your algorithm still only moves those 3 squares, keeping the one facing you the same, so in a way while your deciding which way to hold the cube you can figure out which of the 3 sides you want to solve. Another algorithm I discovered (from another video I wish I remembered where) is that if all 4 squares are opposite of their side (meaning red on orange, orange on red, blue on green, and green on blue) you can solve that with a completely different algorithm M2 (middle) U' (up prime) M2 U'2 M2 U' M2. Repeating that algorithm on a solved cube will place it back into the original 4 square position. Sorry I rambled so much and thank you again for this tutorial.

Only took me 9h and 30min to learn, but now i can do it without video in 2 min tnx man ✅❤️

Hahaha, I just completed the cube my dad has been trying to do since the 1980s. He’s so mad, it’s great.

Eureka moment! I solved my first cube in life. Thanks a lot to your guidance and algorithms

OMFG, YOU ARE THE ONLY CUBE TUTORIALIST that I have liked AND YOU HAVE HELPED ME SO MUCH!!! edit:I CAN NOW SOLVE A RUBIX CUBE!!!

This is really good! Finally I can just send people to this video rather than explaining to random people how to do it when they ask.

When I did the first daisy part I felt like a mastermind

Dude, I am so thankful for you. I watched so many videos trying to solve it and u helped me so much. I want you to know you made very happy and you should keep doing what you are doing. Thanks man.

Thank you very much, only this video that gives real solution. I watched a lot of rubik solver video but always stuck on last layer after did yellow cross.

The amount of times I had to restart is uncountable

Thank you so much, I finally solved my Rubix cube. For the people who are watching, I ran into a lot of speedbumps while solving mine. That’s just going to happen. I messed with mine a lot to try and figure out my errors and then realized I had done it...the impossible...I made it possible. You can too, I believe in you, you’ve got this

thank you so much. That unsolved rubiks cube stood in my room for _years_ now. Finally it is solved!

Great beginners' cube-tuition. Excellent explanations, speed, examples and video/audio quality. Thank you very much.

This is by far the best 3×3 Rubik's Cube Tutorial I've ever watched. The way this guy breaks everything down is great. Especially explaining the algorithms. I struggled for quite a while and would always get frustrated and put the cube down. It wasn't until the pandemic that I picked it up again. If anyone reading this is struggling with the cube and is repeatedly getting frustrated I want you to try this...It's what helped me and sparked the "Ah Ha" moment. Get a pen/pencil and paper. Write down the notations and algorithms just as this guy explains. Get familiar with both the "Righty & Lefty" Algorithms. Just building dexterity in your fingers and as you do this you will also be memorizing it just out of repetition. Start with the "Daisy"...then the "White Cross"... Exactly in the order of this video. The ONE THING you need to remember is that when your moving edges or ANYTIME you are doing an Algorithm, you MUST COMPLETE THE ALGORITHM! Even if your piece is where you need it. You MUST finish the sequence. That was the one mistake that I kept making over and over again. If you get frustrated...just put the cube down for a while and let your brain decompress. Pick the cube up everyday at least once. Take to work and mess with it while you're out for lunch or on break. I promise, if you stick with it your perseverance will reward you. The first time you complete it your confidence will go through the roof and it is the greatest feeling in the world. I apologize for the long rant. I just want to help others that are struggling with it. God Bless 🙏🏻

Finally solved my first 3x3 cube in my life! I can rest in peace. Thanks a lot.

Best 3x3 cube tutorial I've ever seen.

Thanks for this beautifully explained tutorial, and it was so easy that I finally finished it in my 47th try 😊😊

The number of times I had to restart... But it's all worth it. Finally, when you finally get it done... the reaction... the feeling... it's priceless. You feel like the king. You've spent so much time raging, yet, unconsciously, you've memorized everything you need to do it a second time. Good job. I'm proud of you.

This video has helped me remain the coolest nurse at the children’s hospital!

Just solved my first cube, I'm more than happy. Thank you for helping me cut something off of my bucket list.

I have been trying to solve a Rubik’s cube for 6 months and this is the only tutorial that worked!! Thank you soooo much!

Me: *watching this video everyday Also me: doesnt have any rubiks cube

Best tutorial I've found, thank you. I appreciate you explaining the why and turning the cube slow when you could be turning it fast and confusing us newbs. Went from watching the video and messing up over and over again, to going strictly off my notes from this vid, to solving 5 mins without notes or video. Gonna keep working this. Thank you again.

This is hands down the best Rubik's cube tutorial out there ❤

this is the one and only best tutorial for a rubiks cube . other youtubers just make their vids short and theirs a little to no explanation. thx a lot for makin such a perfeect tutorial

i had seen at least a dozen other solve videos.. this by far was the clearest, easiest to follow and replicate. thanks!

This man's a legend can we just appreciate him for a min

Solved a cube for the first time in my life. Thank you for the detailed step by step instructions.

for the last step, i discovered another method which will take less time. 1st i noticed that doing the right algorithm 6 times brings the cube back to its starting position. And in the last step you used the right algorithm 5 times. Now, instead of doing it 5 times, you can just do the right algorithm once but backwards which would solve the cube. Same can be done for the left algorithm. I am pretty impressed with myself that i found this out on my own. BTW, this is the best tutorial for solving a 3x3 cube i have seen

I placed my order for a 3x3 Rubik’s cube and immediately set about finding a tutorial that made sense to me. After rejecting about 6 other videos due to total confusion, I stumbled upon this one and knew this would be the one to teach me. When I received the cube, I took out my pen and paper to make notes and slowly went through the video. After one viewing, I had solved the cube and had great notes. By that evening, I no longer needed my notes. I can’t praise this tutorial highly enough. You, sir, are a fantastic teacher and I’m so grateful to you for making this video!

How to solve a Rubix Cube: 1) Buy a new one 2) Say you finished it

I solved my First Ever Rubiks cube thanks to you!!!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!! It was such a Well Explained Video.

I think this is the first time I am commenting on any KZfaq video. Thanks a lot for this tutorial, it is so comprehensive and easy to follow. I could solve a cube in one day. This is so much better than all the ‘quick hacks to solve a cube’ video on the internet. I first learnt it on 2018 and even after 6 years I remember each step simply because of how throrough the tutorial is. Thanks a LOT

The only time ive solved a rubiks cube is by taking it apart and putting it back together

Guy: "Move the bottom two layers together." Me: "So...🤔...just move the top layer?"

Hi Phil. This video is the LEGIT first video where I learned how to solve the 3x3. I literally took a picture of the cube (qiyi sail w stickered) after I solved it. Thank you very much for this video. I got a new hobby because of this.

Finally solved this freaking cube after tons of days of practice. Now I don't want to scramble it again!😅. By the way, Thanks a lot the Cubicle, I'll really appreciate your this act of kindness🖤💜

Best tutorial on KZfaq hands down. FINALLY solved the freaking cube for the first time in my life. I love that he really takes his time to explain and re-plain every step and all the possibility carefully and slowly, with the hands gesture matching the verbal instructions. I watched a couple of videos on youtube and some are blasting through the steps like dude, calm the heck down. 10/10 !!

Rubick's Cube Masters : *Solves It In 10 Seconds* Me : *Solves It In 1 Month*

Guys! Actually this tutorial is amazing! I start practicing and now I can solve the cube without going to the notes that I took from this video. However, the last technique I took it from my sister who watched another video, because I found the part after making the yellow cross is hard. Anyway, I practiced several times until I can solve the cube so easy!! :)

Thank you so much, the first time solving it felt like heaven

I did it! (After 2 days of trying) Only tutorial I could actually follow 👍🏼

*learns to rubiks* *brings rubiks to school* kids:woah can you teach me that

I can't believe I did it! I don't remember the last time I had to be so focused doing something. I loved every minute of it, tbh! :D

The best tutorial ever done whole cube twice after watching this plus full formulaa wow

Best and easiest explanation available in youtube..anyone could do this if the instructions are followed correctly.

I just want to give you a HUGE thank you. I've had an unsolved cube for about 9 years sitting in my drawer and just couldn't solve it and lost interest. You have literally the only tutorial that I could understand. Thank you so much for making it clear without going for too long. I'm so satisfied now lol.

Very good. I have looked at about 20 others and this is the only one I have seen that has helped me to understand the patterns.

Man without your guide I would never be able to solve a rubik's cube ever truly appreciate what u are doing for the society

This man has explained each and every possible outcomes. I really appreciate it.👌🙏👏👏👏

As a cuber, I can confidently say that this is one of the most impressive and comprehensive tutorials out there! (Thanks Phil! 🧡💙)

I searched for and watched many videos until i found this guide which turned out to to be the best, so far. I have managed to solve 1st and 2nd layer by myself, afte watching this video, but i still need to memorize the many and complex sequences required for the 3rd layer. nevertheless, the video is very explanatory! Well done @TheCubicle

honestly hands down the best tutorial ever. so simple and so easy to understand. truly step by step. after years of having my rubics cube and many moments of fruustration and reading on how to solve it, i finally solved it thats to this tutorial. thank you my man. you are amazing. anybody can do it even i your iq is room temperature level. i cant thank you enough. amazing.
