Beginners Method

I first learned to solve the Rubik’s Cube with this beginners method and luckily, this is a good explanation. But, as I saw other people solve cubes, I discovered that there were some beginner’s methods that were very unreasonable. Some methods require using 52 turns just to to fix the last layer corners orientation while this method only has to do a simple 7-turn algorithm twice for that case. This method although will require the learning of a few more algorithms, with this beginners method, one can get under 40 seconds with practice.

My Beginners method is very similar to the one on the beginners method I learned from. In fact, it is the same up to the last layer where I have my differences. Please do note that I refer to black instead of white stickers. Do not worry if you do not have black stickers. Sometimes, cubes have black instead of white.

Before starting, knowledge of how the notation works is required. Read about the notation.

1. Solve the Cross (first layer edges)
2. Solve First Layer Corners
3. Solve Second Layer Edges
4. Orienting Last Layer Edges
5. Orienting Last Layer Corners
6. Permute the Last Layer Corners
7. Permute Last Layer Edges

Using this beginners method, it is very easy to get a fast time with practice. This method is closer to the Fridrich method and will provide an easier transition than other methods.
