How to Solve the 3x3 Rubik's Cube - Second Layer / Middle Layer

[@TooMuchTigerero]

Best video on the second layer I've seen. I've been trying to get solve this layer for a week and all the videos I've watched have tried to give me algorithms which suck. This video was great because you showed us the reasons to move them to where they're going excellent work dude

[@Zman872]

Thank you! I’m glad it helped!

[@TooMuchTigerero]

@@Zman872 thanks for the reply today about 30 minutes ago I finished my first solve at the rubiks cube using your final solve video thank you so much I'm gonna master this thing 🤘

[@liaisse]

I agree! It's really easy!

Kevin Mustain I also HATE algorithms

[@nightslayer2655]

You’re the best rubiks cube KZbinr because you show all of the possible outcomes and not just the situation your cube is in

[@Zman872]

Thanks so much! Glad it helped! For others, here's a link to my Last Layer Tutorial: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bGSanoyDgbqZbtU

[@nightslayer2655]

Zman872 now because of you I learned how to solve a 2x2 and a 3x3 in less than a day

[@Zman872]

That's awesome!!! Congratulations!!!

[@nightslayer2655]

Zman872 I just have one more question, sometimes when I do the last algorithm on the 2x2 and the 3x3 (the algorithm that you use on both the 2x2 and 3x3) it just doesn’t solve but sometimes it does!? If it doesn’t solve does that mean that I did one of the algorithms wrong??

[@fezcubing8848]

Have you heard of j perm

[@Mallayah004]

You also give the tutorial at the most appropriate speed for a person that's learning, & your voice is excellent for teaching. TU.

[@thefakejk4295]

I started trying j perm but and mixed you and his ways to solving the Rubiks cube and you we’re easier slower and you just ended up being way better

[@erennn8497]

some tutorials take like 30 mins long just to teach a single layer. this is incredible! tysm.

Thanks! 😊 I'm happy to hear it helped you learn it so fast!

this is the best second layer video I've ever seen I've been stuck on the second layer for like longer than a week and this helped me solve it.

[@xsxtx99x63]

I’ve seen so many tutorials and none of them were as helpful as this one. I like how you display different scenarios and not just how your cube is scrambled. Splendid! Your technique is seamless.

[@dkella85]

Oh my gosh your the only KZbinr that helped me solve a rubix cube I literally never solved a rubix cube with other people's videos but when I saw your video it only took me about an hour to finish solving it. Thank you very much

[@smaverick4225]

This is done in a way that makes it logical and easy to understand, without complicating my simple mind with algorithms and such. Thank you!!

[@jennacraft7618]

The only guy in the planet who made my life in Rubiks made it easier so far...you are a good teacher!

[@gauravsarda2669]

I wanted to learn it so i could teach my son. Your videos are the best since you explain how to do it rather than just telling the algorithm. Thanks a lot.

[@hewhoknowsknows]

By far the most straightforward and best explanation of how to complete the 2nd tier. And using the "elevator" scenario really helps. Beats the other explanations using long winded algorithms hands down.

Fantastic video! I've tried a bunch of tutorials that weren't bad, but they either skipped a case or they used unexplained algorithms. Thanks for this!

[@Zman872]

Glad it helped!

[@subbulakshmibalasubramania5963]

This video beats all the others. I've been trying to solve middle layer for a month now and all the videos give cheap tricks or algorithms that Suck. Ur video explains why we have to move the pieces there. Keep it up man

[@deepakrai5175]

I followed n number of videos for weeks to solve 2nd layer. This id the simplest video. Solved 2nd layer easily . Thanks !

[@sampletext9213]

Thank you so much! I've been following tutorials with algorithms that took a long time to do, but this tutorial helped me complete it much faster and now I can do this part on the back of my head!

[@KenStentiford]

Thank you. This will help me teach my 7 year old who is ready for 2nd layer but the 8 move algs for left and right are a bit much at this point. This will work!

[@kimmyhead]

Dude thank you SO MUCH this is the only video for this that actually works or makes sense!

[@particle9productions]

I'd never tried to solve a cube before until about a week ago. I wanted to see if I could get it on my own. I got all the way up to the very last side piece on the second layer without looking up tips, but I was always setting the correct edge into the correct spot, but the colors were inverted. It was abject frustration. So, I just broke down and found your video... in like, 5 seconds my middle layer is solved. Thank you so much!

[@Zman872]

That's awesome. Congratulations! And I'm happy I could help!

[@josephdoseph3118]

Dude! Elevator description is genius. I was trying to remember 8 step moves for left and right movement of edge pieces, but your way is super easy to master!

[@surangabhuyan3697]

Yeah me too but sometimes you have to use the 8 moves to get the colour

[@Youngfezee]

This is perfect for me because I already know how to solve the cube, but my method of solving the middle later was really bad and took to much time, this is the most quickest and simple way to solve the middle section, Thanks

[@jahan434]

ive finally done my 2nd layer, much quicker then the 1st layer thank you so much !!

[@memerlel]

this was very helpful thanks :)

[@squareheadanimation8143]

The reason that I can solve my rubiks cube is your Elevator Move. It's really nice to see these kinds of tutorials that I can easily understand, I subscribe to your channel and THANK YOU for your tips!

[@xAstro.]

Thank you man in 2019 i had a gan cube and brought it school and there was a contest i got top 1 and my time is 20.6 seconds without this tutorial i would be in last place Thank You so much

[@grawlix4419]

This helped much! Other videos I’ve watched were just so complicated and I couldn’t figure out/memorize the algorithm until I watched this!

[@Zman872]

Thanks - I'm glad I was able to help!

[@hdjejdjdowjefs6830]

Thank you!!! I’ve tried so many videos but yours actually help since you show different outcomes. Your video also helped me when I didn’t have the same as you but I used a similar technique that you did and got it correct! Thank you!

[@SebZip]

Thank you!! Other videos were basically useless to me but this one absolutely changed everything! I actually managed to solve the middle layer thanks to you! :D only one problem though.. I have a bad memory so I must attempt to memorize this video lol!!

[@fay6397]

this is the best video series for the rubix cube u talked us through each step really appreciate it.

[@isobel2093]

Perfect. Thank you!!! You’re the first person I’ve found who describes it the easiest way - making the T, elevator move etc… so logical, no algorithm to remember, teaches us how to actually SOLVE it and not just repeat random moves.

[@cookiemonster6468]

You deserve way more credit! Once I finished practising the first layer and got comfortable with it after watching your first video I decided to give the middle layer a shot. So I played this video thinking that it will take me a lot of time to make some progress but I was in for a surprise. Your explanation made complete sense and I started putting the middle pieces to where they should go after seeing your first example :O and by the end the video everything made sense, just on the first watch! I will not push my luck with the last layer for now but just practise the middle one until I'm sure I can do it. Thank you!

[@Zman872]

Thank you! I think it’s great how you really want to learn each layer to really know how to solve it versus just solving it once and being done.

[@manalhazzaa5782]

I was following ur steps while watching on the phone snd then when i looked at my cube i saw it was solved, ur the best i used to look to every video and become even more confused, i bought this cube yesterday and by watching your video, i can solve first and 2nd layer. Now im chrcking ur 3rd layer.

[@-Juntos-]

Got the first layer and right know i got finally the second. Thanks for the easy step and now going for my last layer.

[@oofgamer5573]

Hats off bro, after 4 years I finally am getting the power of solving a 3 by 3, what a detailed explanation....

By far the best video I have seen. The visual presentation allows you to understand the logic of the moves so you can make them on the fly.

[@ItzDarkFR]

PERFECTO MAN! I wanted to know how to solve a Rubik's cube faster and all the tutorials are hard. I realized if I find a way to do the middle layer faster I can solve the cube faster thank you so much dude

[@saanviiyer5312]

Best video ever that I have seen for the second layer. I followed both the first-layer and second-layer videos that you posted and I was able to do it in no time. I wish I had seen this before I clicked on all of those complicated videos others have posted. Thank you so much!!!
