How to Solve a Rubik's Cube [Best Method 2024]
I have taught millions of people to solve their first 3x3 Rubik's Cube using this beginner's method. For this tutorial, I collaborated with Matty Hiroto Inaba, ranked 6th in the WCA (World Cube Association) who will help you solve your first 3x3 Rubik's Cube!

• Solve the Rubik's Cube...
🚨 By reinserting or twisting pieces of the Rubik's Cube, you can put your cube in an UNSOLVABLE state.
Your cube is unsolvable if:
If at step 7:07, you have one, or three yellow edges next to the yellow center
If at step 10:19 you can only get 2 corners in the correct spot
If at step 11:16 you do everything correct, but the cube never gets solved.
If this happens, you need to (CAREFULLY) disassemble and reassemble the cube.
I demonstrate this during the example solve: • Example Solve Beginner...

READ BEFORE COMMENTING!!! ⁉ Common Questions 5:10 Some people struggle figuring out which side the edge needs to go. While facing the edge, look at the top color of that edge, and then look which center of the cube has that color. This will be either the left or the right center, and is also the side the edge needs to go. 6:15 A lot of people are confused at this (how do we insert a random edge in that position?!). That's why I have this video where Matty shows the entire process more carefully: kzhead.info/sun/ec6ieauOimKDpIE/bejne.html 📌 Important Timestamps: 2:43 Righty Algorithm 2:59 Lefty Algorithm 8:29 Sune 9:52 Niklas 🚨 By reinserting or twisting pieces of the Rubik's Cube, you can put your cube in an UNSOLVABLE state.

Hi
I feel like every time I touch this thing I get slight brain damage, sure is satisfying to twist and turn though.
True that !!!
Nice tutorial but somehow I got my cube stuck the toaster, is there a part 2 to help get it out?
Trust me bro if the cube and the toaster are the same brand it should be an easy fix
dang bro i feel you
I think you toaster was made by Rubik's.
Just buy some lube, your toaster might have a bit of a dry sandy feeling
I got a toaster ad while reading this
Just leaving this here for me 😅 Line(Yellow Cross): 7:15 Hook(Yellow Cross): 7:33 Dot(Yellow Cross): 7:52 Sune: 8:23 Niklas 9:47

Yeah definitely

For anyone failing multiple times, Do not give up brother... I just started yesterday... always failed in the last step, was almost demotivated but then i remembered my goal and kept on practicing, and i finally solved my first cube in my 6th attempt which i bought three years ago.. Very thank you Matty, i appreciate your tutorial a lot, it was the easiest one i could find.. And to whoever is still practicing, have some patience, you will become a cuber!!
I practiced for 2 hours the first day & solved white layer. 4-5 hours the second day and made 2nd layer successfully but failed to proceed further 2 hours the third day and finally I solved the whole cube. Once with the help of this tutorial following everything as it is and after that I did it on my own.
Took me 3 days to solve my first ever rubik cube!! Whoever trying to solve the cube first time, my advice is to have patience and follow the instructions even if you have to start from the beginning, I’ve done that maybe 60-70 times.thanks CubeHead for this video!!
Took me 3 minutes

Took me 3 months 😂

@@Marniaaaaaaaatook me 3 centuries
I always fail the last step cause the yellow is ok but everything else gets scrambled
Me too! Is there a way to fix that?
Same I've tried twice but the Rubix cube gets messed up I can't complete the last step
Maybe one of the colours have been switched which makes it impossible to solve
@@Joebbbbbbb you can have a corner twist making it impossible to solve and the way to find out is that if their is one piece on the yellow side that still need to be solve but the rest of the whole cube is solve it is a corner twist. To fix you can take the corner off the cube and put it on the right way or hold the corner and twist it until it is solve
Thanks I think that was the issue and I have now solved the Rubix cube thanks for the help
I am teaching different people, but mostly children how to solve the 3x3 cube. And with time I developed pretty the same steps. It's meant that it's the most easy and understandable method for beginners!!! Good job 👍
THANK YOU :)
@@CubeHeadI don’t understand what you mean by “Where it needs to go” at 5:15
I'm a cuber and I can solve a 3x3 cube pretty fast now. Watching your tutorial reminds me of my old days, when I wasn't able to solve one. I hope your video will inspire many more people who loves cubing, as JPerm's video did.
this litterly took my sooo long, first time ever solving it, i did it!!!!!!!!!!!! now i've got gcse history and chemistry at midnight to prepare for ☠☠ Thanks so much CubeHead!!!!!!!!!!
Just solved my first rubix cube from this! This is one of the best tutorials I've ever watched.
Thank you so much-this is exactly what I needed in order to finally get started on figuring out how to solve these things! For some reason my brain has an immeasurably more difficult time doing the lefty algorithm but I’ve definitely gotten better the more I’ve done it. I’m super excited to finally get into this and get faster!
This is an amazing tutorial. Very easy to follow along. I do well until the very last steps at 11:35 and that’s when my cube goes to back to its original unsolved state and I restart the video 😂
Same have you found a solution
@@ZMG_ It appears the entire cube is all messed up after solving the first corner, don't worry about it. Continue solving the individual corners regardless of what the rest of the cube looks like. Eventually as you do the right algorithms to solve the corners, it will organize itself again, until you finally get them all and it looks like his does, where you just have to shift the bottom.
Bestest video on the internet to solve a Rubik's cube ,listen it you can definitely do it 😊
Same bro this video is the best
Thanks! Because of you, I can now solve a Rubiks cube! While it takes multiple minutes, I'm sure I'll get faster! I am now happy to finally be considered a cuber.
Thank you!! I had learned years ago to solve one from the booklet it came with, but when my 9 year daughter bought a cube recently, I couldn't remember past solving the white. This was a great refresher course.
Finally solved a Rubik’s cube thanks to you, hopefully I can start to solve them on my own one day. (Edit) just solved it on my own and remembered all the steps.
idc if i can solve one. im still gonna watch

Took me just 20 minutes to solve my first Rubik's cube. Nice and easy to understand tutorial
Thanks cubehead I learned how to solve a rubiks cube for the first time 2 years ago now i average around 25 seconds feels like just yesterday i was learning these old algs for the first time.
cubehead please make the cfofp tutorial because your soo good at explaining
bro tysm! i impressed my mother by solving it also
Wow
I learned soving a cube from your last tutorial. I first solved it in August and now I‘m already at sub 30 sec. Thank You!
This worked for me. It took me sometime to get the hang of it. The video is very informative and useful. Thanks a ton.
That's how I learned it but back then I had to watch different tutorials to understand all the steps. Excellent job on making every single step so easy to follow and understand. And showing the most common mistakes is especially helpful.
Nice
good tutorial @cubehead
Having trouble with the end
Wow. After years of being slightly interested in completing a cube, I’ve finally done it. Thanks for the tute! ❤️
You have my gratitude, this was the ONLY tutorial that made me not only solve the puzzle but also learn and memorize the techniques to do it again.
Got my first solve with this video, thanks!!
I used alot of tutorials I also used yours but it didn't solve and I didn't understand but after seeing this tutorial I finally did it after all. After 3 years of hardworking I finally did it. Thanks Matty and CubeHead
🙏🙏
I saw this for the first time and I can fix a cube now, this was a great and easy tutorial, if you aren't familiar with the algorithms don't worry, you just need to practice them and you'll learn them
Thx Matty and Cubehead this was a very good tutorial! Although I did have to switch to cube heads older tutorial to understand the second layer, the rest I learned from this one. I can solve it with out the tutorial now and I can solve a 2x2 but for now I still use a tutorial for that.
This is a great video, thank you! I was able to solve it after some practice and now can solve them quite quickly and frequently. The only thing that could have been explained better is how to handle an edge flip for the 2nd layer. Not difficult to deal with but I had to look elsewhere to solve this. Thanks again!
Yeah getting some questions about that, will have an unlisted video in the description and pinned comment for that case
I can tell this is gonna get popular 🔥🔥🔥
I Never thought I would EVER solve one of these things, huge thanks man!
This is the one tutorial I've been following for ages and it works every time. Thank you so much!
It's been so long since I solved a rubix cube this way I forgot how to do it and I'm now questioning myself do I really know how to solve a rubix cube anymore It's like my brain had a factory reset while watching this video and now I don't remember how to solve one
Rubix 💀💀
Finally! After years and years of doing literally nothing, I can solve a cube. Wished I had found this tutorial before seeing all the other ones. Thank you for teaching me how to solve my first rubik's cube!
I can't solve mine His explanation is confusing
Keep pausing every few seconds and use muscle memory by practicing
This video first started as confusing but as I realized my mistakes, I finally solved my very first rubik's cube. Very happy! My speed is now amazing like J can do right algorithm are insane. Now I hope I ready for CFOP.
that was a very good video! i should use this method if someone ever asks me to teach them
This is really good! Good job dude!
You explain soo well and easy to understand. Thank you
Clear and crisp explanation when i watched this i solved my rubix cube 5 times in a row while bragging to my friends i learned it in 30 minutes
Thank you ❤. I finally got my first cube solved today with the help of this video.🎉
Love that slowed down video haha
after a few tries I did it finally! It's just a little tricky to remember the sune one for some reason (:
this has been so helpful for my journey , thank you
best tutorial ever, and goes through all cases with a solvable cube
Thanks this is my first ever Rubik’s cube solve for 3 years
youre 3 y/o??
what did i say, ofc it's matty

Thx this is my first rime understanding the tutorials on yt
Started attempting to solve the Rubik’s cube yesterday night(April 7th) gave up after a few attempts and lots of frustration but I just couldn’t give up and with in 24 hours of starting it, this video helped me complete my first ever Cube!
This is a great tutorial Milan.
What about cfop I learned to solve the cube from you now I will be faster you teach really good by other people was hard to understand

how do you know which side it has to go? 5:18
Look at both colors and match them
Bro TYSM I am so happy I can solve it first time I saw so many tutorials none of them were working so I watched ur vid I was so concentrated and it was easy to understand now I can solve it in under 50 seconds! U just earned a sub ❤
Thank you so much!! This is the best video out there to solve a rubik's cube!!
This is a great tutorial and I finally solved my first cube today! One thing though is that I feel like the part at 6:15 could have a bit more detail as I'm currently stuck on how to insert a yellow edge into the spot without completely messing up my cube. Edit: I finally realized I can just do the same sequence that I used for moving other colours to the side! Woop woop
"Moving other colors to the side"?? Could you explain pls. I can't get any further here...😢
@@MrDa2509 Did you find out yet? I'm also stuck
This is why i watched here beacuse it's too easy too learn💖😊
Thanks to this man I have finally finished solving my rubrics cube❤
My niece told me it was her dream to have a Rubik’s cube. She’s three and handed it to me to solve. Thank you for allowing me to solve it and show her that she could do it too in time.
3:53 you can do F2 U' F2 U F2 thats how i learned it and its way easier to remember
Altough I know how to solve a cube, I’ll watch it to support cubehead❤❤
Me too
I got it!!🎉🎉my first ever cube solved. I now know how to do it! Thq uu ❤❤
holy cow, finally i found a tutorial which really give me a hand for first layer
Im gonna be honest didnt learn anything i watched this 10+ times i dont get it
Why do I always see this comment on every tutorial
Yes
then you might be dumb
Relatable
Then do 1 Niklas
Matty thank you so much I never thought I could solve my first cube but you made it possible for me 🎉
Just learned it this afternoon. Very satisfying. Fastest I’ve done was 7-8 mins but will keep practicing.
Instructions clear, I have now solved my first Rubik's Cube. Thanks a lot!
Cool 📹 cubehead is the best 👌 👍
Simple, easy and efficient.. i have watched many videos about how to solve this cube and i will pause the video in the middle bc i didn't understood a thing. This video made me solve it and my time in the first try is under 4 minutes, several years ago my time was 20+. Thank you for this video
Honestly this is the best tutorial I have came across, today is the day I bought the cube after 10+ years when I initially dreament that I would learn and solve 3x3 cube. I am still stuck at Suna and last right algorithm.
Instructions unclear, my cube now has a baseball cap and sunglasses
I realized it wayyy later but when teaching a beginner, loads of people just doesn't explain every pieces and the basic functions of the cube. It is quite a crucial step yet it gets overlooked surprisingly often. A girl who sits next to me tried to do one side but instead of seeing the pieces as 3d shapes with 2 or 3 sides, she was seeing all of them as 2d flat colors that is composed of 54 different pieces. And that even made the cross step hard for her
Guys , i acknowledge that this has to be the best tutorial ever , do you imagne that i can really solve fluently the rubbik's cube after 2 days of watching this video , just follow the steps iguys , and do much more practice , and you will be able to solve it many times a day , thank you CubeHead !!
I practiced for 2 hours the first day & solved white layer. 4-5 hours the second day and made 2nd layer successfully but failed to proceed further 2 hours the third day and finally I solved the whole cube. Once with the help of this tutorial following everything as it is and after that I did it on my own.
who is a Cuber but is still watching this
I have ADHD. I am 45 years old. I still do not know how to solve one of these. I guess that people who teach these videos “try” to explain in layman’s terms how to easily put the pieces in place. What I figured out on my own by watching this video today is that not one single person has ever said that you are multi tasking or “thinking ahead” (which is horrendous to my brain)with every single moveyou are making. kinda like chess. I need a “if you have ADHD” how to video lol. Or just tell me to go start an ant farm lol.
I did it! This is the best step by step process for a rubix cube! Thanks a bunch!
Yes! A tutorial with daisy. When I was starting out I just could not figure out how to just create the cross and I ended up resorting to the rubik's brand method because it was the best one I could find with daisy
OMG OMG I JUST SOLVED MY FIRST CUBE OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH AFTER MANY MISTAKES I FINALLY DID IT WITH YOUR TUTORIAL THANK YOUUUUUUU ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Everything went fine until 6:08 , I'm so confused I'm sorry
NO ITS HIS FAULT FOR NOT MAKING US UNDERSTAND BETTER
@@Everybodyfan-xc9ek he's not obligated to make this video 😭
if you dont have a good edge which means an edge without yellow on it so you just insert the yellow edge to the spot where the good edge is stuck and not solved
Great video, finally did my first solve, took lots of rewatching and slowing the video down. But I got there thank you so much 🎉
I was so mad at a cube I bought 5 or 6 years ago because i just couldn't get past the 2nd layer, so I just left it on my table for 2 days until today where i just felt bored and thought give this cube another try and gosh I solved it!! I'm so happy and thank you for helping me to solve this childhood dream of mine! :)
2:16 thats a corner bruh🗣️🗣️🔥🔥⚡⚡
Hey cube head, can u plz teach us the cfop method. U are the only cuber able to teach me and make me understand plzzz❤
Definitely the best instructional video for the cube. Thank you!
Amazing! Followed step by step and got it in my first try. Time to memorize all this! 🙌
Only cuberz can like 👇
This video is amazing i watched it for a week straight and I practiced every step and now I can solve under 15 seconds
Thank you so much that helped me, it's my 2nd day using my Rubik's now I can solve it by my self, thank you again❤❤❤
This doesn't work I can't solve the second layer I have BEEN TRYING FOR 2 FUCKING DAYS
Skill issue
relateble
same but you just have to practice I got it evuantually
Skill issue tbh
You have a corner twist, take the cube appart and put it back in a solved state, ur cube is unsolvable
i got a j perm
This really helped my son adapt and solve his first cube. Thanks!
