The layer-by-layer method

Seven steps, from the white cross to a fully solved cube. Pick a step, then a case from the list, and switch to the interactive cube to see it in action — white on top for the first step and yellow on top for the rest, just like a pro would hold the real cube in their hands. You'll see that with very few formulas you'll be able to solve the whole cube. And once you've mastered them, dare to discover alternatives and new formulas by pressing — the two-arrow button you'll see on some cards.

If this is your first cube, start here: you don't need to know anything, just how to read notation, and that takes five minutes. It's 7 steps and a handful of formulas; in a few days you'll solve the whole cube on your own.

Press the CYCLE button (the little cube icon, next to the Aa letters) to swap the colors so they match your own cube.

Some cards have alternatives by pressing that same icon (⇄), to widen your knowledge of formulas. They'll serve as a bridge toward the Intermediate method.
