Rubik's Cube questions people search for

Short answers for the places beginners usually get stuck.

How do you solve a Rubik's Cube step by step?

Use a beginner layer-by-layer path: notation, white cross, first layer, middle layer, then the yellow last layer.

How do you solve the white cross?

Match each white edge with its side center before placing it, so the cross is solved on the white face and around the sides.

How do you make the yellow cross on a Rubik's Cube?

Look only at the yellow edge stickers on top, then turn the dot, L-shape, or line into a yellow plus.

Why does my yellow cross not match the side colors?

That is normal right after making the yellow cross. The next step moves the yellow edge pieces until their side colors match the centers.

How do you solve the last yellow corners?

First put each yellow corner in the correct slot, then twist the corners so the yellow stickers face up.

What do R, U, F, R', and F2 mean?

They are cube notation: face letters name the side to turn, a prime turns it counter-clockwise, and 2 means a half turn.

Can an online Rubik's Cube solver solve my scrambled cube?

Yes. Copy your sticker colors into the solver and it can generate a move-by-move 3D solution for any valid 3x3 scramble.
