In brief

This tutorial breaks down solving a 3x3 Rubik’s Cube into five core moves, guiding you through each stage—from the top cross to the final edges—in under 17 minutes. The creator’s method uses clear notation and resets the cube midway to demonstrate worst-case scenarios, ensuring you’ll recognize any position. Best for beginners who want a structured, repeatable approach without memorizing dozens of algorithms.

Key steps

  1. Use the T-Letter algorithm to move a bottom edge piece to a side.
  2. Place the bottom corners with R U R’ U R U U R’ until solved.
  3. Orient the side corners using R’ F R’ B B R F’ R’ B B R R.

Questions & answers

Why does the cube look scrambled mid-video?

The creator resets the cube to its most challenging state at key points (e.g., 9:00, 11:20) to clearly explain the next step.

What if all bottom pieces are the same color?

Use the T-Letter algorithm (6:45) to relocate a bottom edge piece to a side before proceeding.

Description from the creator

Frequently Asked Questions FAQ
1. Where can I get a 3x3 Rubik's cube?
amzn.to/2ryjW02

2. Why doesn't this work?
It is possible your cube was dissembled and reassembled incorrectly. Reassemble it solved, then scramble it and this video will work.

3. All the bottom pieces are Red, how do I make a T letter? 6:08
Temporally preform the T-Letter algorithm (6:45) to move a bottom (Red) edge piece into any side edge. This will move that side edge piece to the bottom.

4. Why did the cube magically change in a few spots, most notably at 9:00 and 11:20?
This is not done to deceive or trick you. At these points I reset the cube to its worst possible state so I could thoroughly explain the next step. This is why I do a complete solve of the cube at the end of the video.

Now that my cube is solved, I have lots of time on my hands, so I make Silly Videos of my Vacations attempting to capture my wife in the perfect Bikini.
