Step 1: How to solve the white edge pieces in the first layer

The easiest step is solving the first layer edges of the Rubik’s Cube. Choose one color you want to start with. In this beginner’s tutorial we’re going to start with the white face.

I suggest you try to solve the first face without reading these instructions, so you can feel the sense of accomplishment when you complete it all alone. This step is not so hard because you don’t have to take care of so many solved cubelets yet.

You can determine where a piece comes according to the colour of the center pieces which never swap places. Every edge must fit to the side center piece too. See the attached image.

The idea is to put the first edge to the right spot, oriented correctly, then the second piece so you don’t mess up the one you have already solved. When you solve the fourth you have to take care not to mess up the three solved pieces so it gets harder step by step.You have to Do this Step By Yourself.

Step 2: How to solve the white corners in the first layer

Finishing the first layer of the Rubik’s Cube is still relatively easy and it can be used to familiarize with the puzzle without reading the cheat sheet.

The second step of the beginner’s Rubik’s Cube tutorial doesn’t require long algorithms. You just have to apply a couple of short permutations which are easy to understand and to memorize

03 How to solve the Rubiks Cube — The Cube Should Look Like This in The End

Here are a few examples which you might be facing while solving your Rubik’s Cube when you want to move a white corner piece to the top layer. In each example the piece we’re fixing is the last white corner to demonstrate that these moves don’t break the solved pieces.

According to the orientation there are three cases:
