How to Solve a 5x5x5 Rubik's Cube FOR BEGINNERS

You do not need to know how to solve a 4x4 to solve a 5x5!
(You do need to be able to solve a 3x3 though)

This video will help you on your journey to finally solve the 5x5x5 Rubik's Cube. The professor's cube is the next challenge after the 3x3 and 4x4 and in this video I will show you how you can solve yours today!

Algorithms used in video:
Commutator Algorithm: 3Lw' U' 2Lw U Rw U' 2Lw'
Flipping Algorithm: R U R' F R' F' R
Parity Algorithm: Rw U2 x Rw U2 Rw U2 3Rw' U2 Lw U2 Rw' U2 Rw U2 Rw' U2 Rw'

Time Stamps:
White Center: 1:30
Yellow Center: 4:28
Red Center: 7:26
Blue Center: 9:05
Last 2 Centers: 10:28
Edge Pairing: 13:25

You are literally the only person I came across to actually explain the solving as a 3x3 part. Now I can solve a 5x5 much easier Thanks to you!!!

i do not even know how to solve a 3x3 cube, yet here I am with a 5x5 in my hands

[reecopeaco]

This video actaully let me solve a 5x5 no other video has helped and skipped where I needed help thank you thankyou

Dude I got a 5 by 5 for Christmas and I accidentally scrambled it thinking that it solve exactly like a 3 by 3 your video saved me, thank you!

last 2 edges:

23:15 case 1

24:15 case 2

24:53 case 3

25:28 case 4

25:55 parity

18:21 It's okay the dogs barking lol I have neighbors and their dogs always bark! I even thought the dogs barking in your video were my neighbors lol!

Great video and awesome explanation! Very easy to follow. Quick question, though: is the algorithm written on the screen at 13:08 a typo? For the third to last move you say "Turn the write two layers up" but what is written is Rw. I think it should be 2Rw.

Thanks for your patience explanation at the end regarding the last side pieces. I can solve the 3 x 3 and a 4 x 4 but this 5 x 5 is really stumped me when I get to the last two or three sides. I think I’m gonna be able to do it now thanks to you. Really appreciate it.

Thanks for the video. I am able to solve 5X5 first time. Explanation is very good. Keep rocking..

[hayderel-hashimi]

i would never be able to solve a rubiks cube without you

I was on the brink of quitting until i found your video. Thank you so much best vid ever❤

[Ronihot]

Thank you man! My SEN son is just obsessed with rubics cubes and he got stuck doing the 5 by 5. We used your video to help him.

Thanks man I am going to buy a 5x5 soon I already am a sub 7 minute beginner at the 4x4 and my pb is 1:25 minutes on a 3x3. This tutorial really helped me to understand all possible cases on the last edge pairing stage.

I was having trouble solving the centres and this video made me solve 'em. I solved rest of the cube like how I solved the 4×4. Thanks. I found this very helpful❤️. Your voice is very soothing too.

[ericvito]

Thanks I was stuck on the last two edges then I watched your video and was able to solve the edges within a minute or so, then I solved the 5x5 right after. Easy to follow tutorial 🎉 thanks again🎉

Thanks so much, the best description on the net. It broke down every parity and you took it nice and slow. Thanks

[aydenau]

how can you find the two pieces?

Thank you so much! On my own, I was able to get all but the final corners ... but at that point, every other tutorial and video just says "Okay! Now just solve it like a 3x3!" And I honestly tried that, but for some reason, it wasn't working for me, and I couldn't find a place that would explain what "solve it like a 3x3" meant. You explained it really well, thanks to your explanation, I was finally able to visualize the 5x5 as a 3x3 cube, and then it was eary. Great explanation! Thank you so much!

I'm so happy that you are making more videos more often!!! <3

Really nice tutorial. Just like the 4x4 tutorial i also learned to solve my 5x5 in one day. Very well explained.
