How to Solve a 2x2 Rubik's Cube in a Minute | The Quickest Tutorial

Are you looking for a creative way to impress your friends with your skills? Here's the way to solve a 2x2 Rubik's Cube that works 100% of the time! But first things first - you should know the Rubik’s Cube lingo. It's all simple and logical.
Each capital letter stands for a face of the cube that turns clockwise. When there is an apostrophe, it means you should go counter clockwise 90 degrees. You're going to use 8 basic moves to solve a 2x2 cube. The cube will rotate clockwise if you look at it from the right face side that's marked with an X. You'll only use 3 algorithms, so it's all really simple.

SUMMARY:
- Turn the right face of the cube clockwise 90 degrees, upper face clockwise, the right face counter clockwise, and upper face counter clockwise.
- The left face goes counter clockwise, the upper face goes counter clockwise. Then, the left face turns counter clockwise, and the upper face - counter clockwise.
- First, you turn the right face clockwise, then the front face counter clockwise. Then, right face goes counter clockwise, and finally the front face turns clockwise.
- Let's find the right corner. It's usually marked with a sticker and is white, blue and red.
- Let's find the corner that matches in two colors with the bottom layer that's already solved and put it in the right place.
- There are no algorithms solving the white cross. You just have to go with your intuition and rotate the side layers to get there.
- You can put the corners of a 3x3 cube into place using the same algorithms as for the 2x2 one.
- You are going to need two algorithms to solve this one. The right and the left center rotation. Because you are a pro with all the algorithms already, this should be no big deal.
- For the yellow cross, you are only going to need one algorithm. If it doesn't work out the first time, keep trying until you get the yellow cross.
- The yellow edges is an algorithm that shifts the two central edges of the upper layer that are in a diagonal line.
- Final stage is simple. You’ve gotta keep going until the yellow part is on top. Without changing the cube's position, turn the upper layer moving the next corner you want to get in place. Eventually, it will all be done.

[@yensteel]

Back in high school I've realised there is a method to solve the Rubik's cube with only 5 algorithms. One middle layer, one for last layer cross, one corner orientation, one pll for edge, and one pll algorithm for corners. Also, you can solve a 5x5x5 cube using only 3 additional algorithms: 2 for the edges while the last one solves the last edge (permutation error before it turns into a 3x3x3). You don't need any algorithm for the 5x5x5 center pieces. It's intuitive. Therefore, if you don't mind trying to do a lot of pattern solving this requires the least memorization.

[@drxkoala510]

I know a way that I use which only uses 3 algorithms

[@devinwutup5778]

3x3 is easier to solve in my opinion

[@highnoon3838]

So, for 2X2, Imagine the cross is already made. Then when you've done the first layer, imagine that the 2nd layer is already done. Now, use the same algorithms of the 3x3 to orient the last layer. After that it's easy.

First time ever doing this. Starting with a 2x2 cube. I have the bottom layer done per the video instructions and a complete orange side opposite red tiles at the bottom. On the top face I have two yellow tiles side by side and two red tiles side by side. Not understanding what to do next based on the pics of the side by side or two diagonals scenarios in the video.
