In brief

Master the classic Rubik’s Cube with a clear, beginner-friendly 7-step method that builds skills layer by layer. Each stage breaks down into specific cases, using simple algorithms to guide you from a scrambled cube to a solved one—ideal for absolute beginners or those revisiting the puzzle.

Key steps

  1. Insert the middle-layer edge pieces using two simple algorithms for right or left placement.
  2. Twist the last-layer corners to match their center colors using the ‘corner twist’ algorithm.
  3. Swap last-layer corners into their correct positions with the ‘corner swap’ algorithm.
  4. Cycle the last-layer edges into place using the ‘edge cycle’ algorithm.

In this video I show how to solve a Rubik's Cube with a 7 step layer by layer beginner method, that will give you a good foundation for learning a speed method in the future. All cases are covered and timestamps and Algorithms are below!

Algorithms:
Step 3: To the Right: (U R U' R') (U' F' U F)
Step 3: To the Left: (U' L' U L) (U F U' F')
Step 4: Easy Algorithm: (F R U) (R' U' F')
Step 5: Corner Twist: R' U2 R U R' U R
Step 6: Corner Swap: R' F R' B2 R F' R' B2 R2
Step 7: Edge Cycle: (R U')(R U)(R U)(R U') R' U' R2
