Step 1: Make the Cross
Description: First thing is first ,the way you know which side has which color
is by looking at the middle piece. First, you pick the side you want to solve
first. That side is on top.
Case 1: If one of the edge pieces you need is on the bottom layer, you twist it
so the color that is not part of the side you are solving is corresponding with
the middle piece that is now facing you. Then, facing that side, you apply the
Algorithm 2F. If it’s flipped the wrong way see Case 4.
Case 2: If one of the edge pieces you need is on the middle layer, you twist it
down, and then repeat exactly what you would do if it was in the bottom
layer. You may need to move that piece and then reverse that move. If it’s
flipped the wrong way see Case 4.
Case 3:If one of them is in the top layer you do the same thing you would do
if it was in the middle layer. You may need to move that piece and then
reverse that move. If it’s flipped the wrong way see Case 4.
Case 4: (Flipping the edges (If necessary)): If a piece is in the correct place but
flipped the wrong way you simply apply the algorithm with the edge you
need to flip on the front side in the top space. Algorithm: Fi, U, Li, Ui,
Step 2: Solve the 1st side/layer
Algorithm: Ri, Di, R, D,
Description: This is a very simple step, all you do is, with the
side you are solving on top, move the corner on the bottom
layer under where it needs to go holding the cube so it is in
the right, bottom (see picture). Do the algorithm 1 or more
times until the piece is in the correct place (see picture)
AND turned the correct way. Do that to all 4 corners. And if
you did everything correctly, you should have the 1st layer
solved.

Step 3: Solve 2nd layer
Algorithm: Ui, Li, U, L, U, F, Ui, Fi (left flip), or
U, R, Ui, Ri, Ui, Fi, U, F (right flip)
Description: After you have finished the 1st layer it is
essential that you flip the cube upside-down. In this step,
you put another 4 edge pieces into the right position
completing the middle layer. The way you do this is you pick
an edge that is on the top layer and needs to go on the
middle layer. Then, you place it so that the front part of the
edge lines up with it’s color. Then, if you need to flip it to the
left, you do the algorithm that is mentioned first, and if you
need to flip it to the right you do the other algorithm.
Step 4: Solve the Cross on Top
Algorithm: F, R, U, Ri, Ui, Fi,
From Here
Description: Now after you have the second layer solved, on
the top, unsolved face, you are going to have 1 out of 4
different cases.
Case 1: If you have just the middle piece on top then simply
perform the algorithm. This will get you to case 2
Case 2: If you have a L on top then perform the algorithm
with the L in the top and left edge places looking on the top
side (see picture). This will get you to case 3.
Case 3:If you have a straight line hold it horizontally, not
vertically. This will complete the cross.
Case 4: If you have the cross, obviously you skip the step.
Know that after this step you will not have the edges lined
up with their colors.

Or Here (Left Flip)
To Here (Right Flip)
Step 5: Position Top Cross
Step 6: Position the Corners on Top
Algorithm: R, U, Ri, U, R, 2U, Ri,
Algorithm: U, R, Ui, Li, U, Ri, Ui, L,
Description: If you look closely, you will notice that the top
cross is not necessarily in the correct position, but no matter
what you will be able to place 2 edges in the correct place. If
the 2 edges are next to each other then apply the algorithm
with the correct edges on the back and the right (see
picture)If they are across from each other then apply it
holding the correct edges vertically. You may or may not
have to turn them into the correct position after applying
the algorithm.
Description: Now you will have to position the corners so
that they are positioned correctly. That does not mean they
are turned the correct way. When you do this there will not
necessarily be a corner in the correct place.
Case 1: If there is hold that corner in the top, right part of
the front face (see picture).
Case 2: If there isn’t a corner in the correct place just don’t
worry about the way you hold the cube simply do the
algorithm and then there will be a corner in the correct
place and you automatically move to case 1.

How to Read the Algorithms
Algorithm: Ri, Di, R, D,
U= Twist the top side 90 degrees clockwise.
F= Twist the front side 90 degrees clockwise.
R= Twist the right side 90 degrees clockwise.
L= Twist the left side 90 degrees clockwise.
D= Twist the down side 90 degrees clockwise.
i= twist counterclockwise instead of clockwise.
2U= Twist the top layer 180 degrees.
2F= Twist the front side 180 degrees.
Up (U)
Description: Now all you have to do is orient the corners and
the cube is solved. The way you do this is you put one not
oriented corner in the top right of the front face and then do
the algorithm until the corner flipped the correct way. Know
that the rest of the cube will then not necessarily be solved.
Then you twist ONLY the “Up” layer until the next not
oriented corner is in that spot (you can twist it in either
direction). Repeat this until all the corners are in the correct
orientation.
I know this step seems like you are messing everything up
but at the end everything magically comes back together. If
it doesn’t then you messed up.
