The Simplified Beginner's Method for the Rubik's Cube (4 algorithms only !)

He explained it so much better then anyone else this is the first video I didn't give up on because I actually clearly understood him every other hundred videos they made no sense. Awesome gonna solve my cube now !!!!!

Sadly I can’t understand anyone 😭😫😥

[@krszt]

If someone needs a summary: 1. White cross: do it somehow :D 2. Corners of white side: R U R’ U’ (sexy move) 3. 2nd layer: U’ L’ U L U F U’ F’ (edge to left) U R U’ R’ U’ F’ U F (edge to right) 4. Yellow cross: F sexy move F’ 5. Yellow side, edge switch: R U R’ U R U2 R’ U 6. Yellow side, corner switch: L’ U R U’ L U R’ U’ 7. Yellow side, corner rotation: sexy move

[@zboy.05]

Would u mind giving me the summary but also note, where everything is positioned. Like how do I hold it where does this piece and this piece stay. If that makes sense if not I guess I can do it myself eventually lol

[@zboy.05]

I have mastered everything except OLL and PLL and wanna learn this way also

[@krszt]

@@zboy.05 what is OLL and PLL?

[@zboy.05]

@Krisztina Emrich part of the CFOP method, Cross First 2 Layers, Orient Last Layer, Permeate Last Layer. Basically when u have everything solved expect yellow pieces

[@TraceBrown]

I just wanted to say THANK YOU GREG! Finally after watching so many videos I can do the cube. Everyone rushes the videos made and it’s never slowed down to help people. I was OBSESSED with learning this in 7th grade. But I could never understand it and gave up multiple times and my cube collected dust. Here I am years later and I finally can do it. You’re the best!

When you wrote step 3b you put “L” instead of “R”

@@RubberDucky297 Hmm. Thanks for the head's up. I tried to correct it, but YT won't let me save the comment once I change it. I tried simply posting the comment again, from scratch, but YT won't allow the links through that way. Maybe I have to delete the comment for a while, and try again later, maybe after 24 hours. Until then, everyone type out the algorithms yourselves, I guess.

[@ronaldkoh5281]

Hi Greg, I have searched for a video to show friends online an easy way to solve this Rubik's cube, using my method, just 4 simple algorithms. And here you are, having posted a video with 4 simple algorithms, albeit not exactly similar algorithms because of the orientation of the cube held in hand. I believe this is the simplest method, and your pace is easy to follow, and more people ought to have appreciated it. Thank you very much.

[@annapoornamurali6819]

I bought my cube 6 years ago and I just couldn't solve it. Now, I first watched most of you video, till the point where you use corner switch and the corners are just orientated the wrong way. I didn't watch the part after that, and just switched the corners by turning them. Now I can solve it properly, like a pro. Thankyou 🙂. My friend didn't believe me first that you can use 4 algorithms, and now I think if I show it to him he would jump a metre high. He' s a pro in solving cubes. I am proud to think that I can now join him in solving cubes like a pro. Thankyou very much. This method is really very easy and reliable 🙂

[@jaymareachealee3351]

Great video. Simple, at the right pace and simplified for people to easily follow. Like the fact that different scenarios are explained where required. Merci beaucoup de l'ile Maurice . You are a brilliant teacher.

[@jesperhakimandreassen8097]

Beginner look no further, this is the one you need! Thanks man!

[@yarellopez]

Thank you it’s my first time solving cubes and I couldn’t done without your help I really appreciated it.

[@karlacordova7967]

This is perfect after so many videos that just lied lol I found this one my co worker and I finally figured it out. We literally followed it step by step by memorizing the algorithms and following the steps we did it! First time ever!

[@Scotty-vs4lf]

I already knew how to solve a cube (mostly) but this video made the algorithms much easier to remember. Thank you

[@roslyntorres4013]

It took me 2 days...countless KZbin videos.. I finally got it with this one! Thanks

[@fredtruco4188]

Best method ever !!! In 2 days, I came from half an hour to 2:33 minutes :-) I added 1 algorithm for the yellow cross : I use yours (F(sexy move)F') with a line but I use R'U'F'UFR whith a right angle. Thank you !

[@firstarmyspider]

i have watched many different people try to explain these algorithms and when to use them, its nice to finally see another one that makes sense.

[@NMalteC]

I bought my cube in Canada around 1977 I think. I learned to do the sexy move and a couple others. Most solves required around 56 moves. Since then we got the internet and KZbin and learning has become infinitely more easy

[@DomeRocka420]

You're the BEST! Just solved a cube for my first time, and you're instructions are easy to follow. This is the best beginner's guide on KZbin. I've wanted to accomplish this since I was very young. Can't thank you enough!

[@shadows6101]

Best ever video for a beginner to solve the cube and i personally learnt in a single watch and is easy to understand.

[@dagrox2562]

I have never clicked so fast... only to realize it actually WASN'T clickbait :O I already am past beginner's method and am learning 2-look OLL and PLL (so beginner CFOP) and I already know intuitive F2L. I gotta write these algs down so I can teach my friend the cube As to you people who are hating on it for being bad... I don't see anything that's unclear at all, and he explains the steps very well, I give this tutorial a +2 (Only cubers will get that pun) Edit: Ok, it's not perfect, I see that; but he's simpling it down to SIX ALGORITHMS. The normal beginner's method uses around 12 algorithms, so he's cutting that in half. Quit complaining and learn two things; not everything is perfect, and that things won't immediately come to you from watching a KZbin video

[@brandonloyd8636]

Best video for cube solving hands down

[@RomyRF]

After years of trying and giving up I finally can do it thanks to you! There are a lot of tutorials out there that try to explain it without the algorithm and notation, but I feel like those are needed. A few days ago I couldn't solve one at all, now I can solve one in 2 minutes! A tip for people who are struggling, write down the steps and algorithms! It helped my adhd brain a lot!

[@tinkernoggin3667]

I tried writing it down but when I solve using my instructions (which are literally the same as the video’s) I keep messing up

[@lisag6025]

I FINALLY solved it after over 3.5 hours and rewatching your steps when I messed up!

Hi, just wanted to thank you for the excellent video, you are the one that helped me understand the 3x3 cube, when ALL THE OTHER TUTORIALS failed. Now i cube everything up to the 8x8. my best time on the 3x3 is 54seconds, so I have more algs to learn but friends ask how to learn, and your video is where i direct them every time. thanks man.

I prefer solving 2x2x2 -> 2x2x3 -> 2x3x3 -> solving the top. It is 7 steps but the first two are almost intuitive in how to solve - to get fast you need to memorize more locations in the beginning though.

[@authoritywebdesign]

Do the white cross >> Bottom corners R U R’ U’ (sexy move) >> Middle edges U’ L’ U L U F U’ F’ or U R U’ R’ U’ F’ U F (mirror) >> Yellow cross F (sexy move) F’ >> Top edges (swaps F and L edge) R U R' U R U2 R' U >> Corner cycle (front left, back left, back right rotates CW) L’ U R U’ L U R’ U’ >> Flip cube upside down and rotate corners with sexy move. Done!
