How to Solve a Rubik's Cube [Best Method 2024]

I have taught millions of people to solve their first 3x3 Rubik's Cube using this beginner's method. For this tutorial, I collaborated with Matty Hiroto Inaba, ranked 6th in the WCA (World Cube Association) who will help you solve your first 3x3 Rubik's Cube!

💪 LEARN TO GET FASTER AT THE BEGINNER METHOD

🚨 By reinserting or twisting pieces of the Rubik's Cube, you can put your cube in an UNSOLVABLE state.
Your cube is unsolvable if:
If at step 7:07, you have one, or three yellow edges next to the yellow center
If at step 10:19 you can only get 2 corners in the correct spot
If at step 11:16 you do everything correct, but the cube never gets solved.

If this happens, you need to (CAREFULLY) disassemble and reassemble the cube.

READ BEFORE COMMENTING!!!

⁉ Common Questions
5:10 Some people struggle figuring out which side the edge needs to go. While facing the edge, look at the top color of that edge, and then look which center of the cube has that color. This will be either the left or the right center, and is also the side the edge needs to go.

Nice tutorial but somehow I got my cube stuck the toaster, is there a part 2 to help get it out?

[geoffdouglas]

This method is the BEST. It probably took us 2 days to first work through it but now, me and my 10 year old son can now do the cube in about 3 minutes individually. I told him that any time he sees a mixed up cube, he has to complete it so he doesnt forget the method.

Just leaving this here for me 😅

For anyone failing multiple times, Do not give up brother... I just started yesterday... always failed in the last step, was almost demotivated but then i remembered my goal and kept on practicing, and i finally solved my first cube in my 6th attempt which i bought three years ago.. Very thank you Matty, i appreciate your tutorial a lot, it was the easiest one i could find.. And to whoever is still practicing, have some patience, you will become a cuber!!

[EzraFish-speedcuber]

As somone who had watched dozens of tutorials when I was a begginer I can confidently say that this is one of the best ive ever seen.
Keep up the good work!!

I was following the tutorila smoothly until my family started making so much noise like they were animals or something.

[ZeldaNerd]

Thank you so much—this is exactly what I needed in order to finally get started on figuring out how to solve these things! For some reason my brain has an immeasurably more difficult time doing the lefty algorithm but I’ve definitely gotten better the more I’ve done it. I’m super excited to finally get into this and get faster!

[zacrongaming]

this litterly took my sooo long, first time ever solving it, i did now i've got gcse history and chemistry at midnight to prepare for ☠☠

Thanks so much

[djlkwvm]

I always fail the last step cause the yellow is ok but everything else gets scrambled

[lorrancereid]

This is an amazing tutorial. Very easy to follow along. I do well until the very last steps at 11:35 and that’s when my cube goes to back to its original unsolved state and I restart the video 😂

[alexandrucristea]

Bro… you’re explaining is ok… but the moves are to fast… I can’t follow 😢

[asaduzzamanemon]

Took me 3 days to solve my first ever rubik cube!! Whoever trying to solve the cube first time, my advice is to have patience and follow the instructions even if you have to start from the beginning, I’ve done that maybe 60-70 times.thanks CubeHead for this video!!

[WiretTV]

I am teaching different people, but mostly children how to solve the 3x3 cube. And with time I developed pretty the same steps. It's meant that it's the most easy and understandable method for beginners!!! Good job 👍

[spooogey]

Wow. After years of being slightly interested in completing a cube, I’ve finally done it. Thanks for the tute! ❤️

[BofusTV]

I’ve always been able to get the bottom two layers but never was able to figure out the top. This was a great video and not only explained how to do each step but also shows how to do it in an example. Very well made! Thanks so much!

[gluttonousdelta_a]

Thanks! Because of you, I can now solve a Rubiks cube! While it takes multiple minutes, I'm sure I'll get faster! I am now happy to finally be considered a cuber.

[skysharkplayz]

Finally solved a Rubik’s cube thanks to you, hopefully I can start to solve them on my own one day. (Edit) just solved it on my own and remembered all the steps.

[rgatto]

Man, many thanks. Skimmed through some other explanations in youtube but all seemed difficult or strange. Follow yours for 3 times, checked some more when I got stuck, and today (two days later) I did it by myself three times... under 5 minutes... solved a rubiks cube for the first time with 40 years old :)

[sachinupadhyay]

Bestest video on the internet to solve a Rubik's cube, listen it you can definitely do it 😊
