Solve the Cube

Hold the cube with the white center on top and the green center facing you and look at how the center colors tell you each face color.

Learn the move names and symbols by practicing single turns: R R' L L' U U' D D' F F' B B' (clockwise is no apostrophe and counterclockwise has an apostrophe).

Make a white cross on the top by moving the four white edge pieces so white faces up and each edge’s side color lines up with the center color of its side face.

Insert each white corner into the top layer using the corner-twist algorithm R' D' R D repeated until the white sticker is on top for that corner and do this for all four corners.

Flip the cube so the solved white face is on the bottom and find a non-yellow edge in the top layer to place into the middle layer.

Insert that edge into the middle layer using the right-insert algorithm U R U' R' U' F' U F if it needs to go to the right or the left-insert algorithm U' L' U L U F U' F' if it needs to go to the left; repeat until all four middle edges are correct.

Make a yellow cross on the top by holding the cube and repeating the algorithm F R U R' U' F' until a yellow plus sign appears.

Turn the top so yellow corners are ready and repeat the algorithm R U R' U R U2 R' as many times as needed to get all yellow stickers facing up and make the whole top face yellow.

Put each yellow corner in its correct position (colors match the side centers) by repeating U R U' L' U R' U' L until every corner is in the right spot.

Twist any misoriented yellow corners into the solved position by using R' D' R D on each corner until it is correct and then rotate the top layer to move to the next corner; keep doing this until the whole cube is solved.
