The Basics :

Depending on how you hold the cube, the front will be reffered to as F, the right side will be refered to as R, the top will be refered to as U, the left side will be refered to as L, the bottom will be refered to as D, and the back will be refered to as B.

If the algorithym I want you to perform is : Ri, Di, R, D, the i means to rotate the side given counterclockwise and if it just shows the side then rotate the side given clockwise.

You must memorize this to learn the algorithms.

Getting the plus :

To solve rubik’s cube you must first get the plus sign on the U. To do so you must also line up the side of each of these squares so they match the center color of the U and the center color of the F, R, L & B.

It should look like this:

It should not look like this:

If a piece is in the right spot but the colors are touching the opposite one they’re supposed to, then hold the cube so that the plus that you are forming is on the U and the piece that you need to flip is touching the U and the F and then perform this algorithm : Ui, Ri, U, Fi

Once you have the plus sign you can now start getting the corners.

Getting the corners of the plus :

Once you have correctly finished the plus you can now start working on getting the proper corners to complete the U. First you must find a corner with the same color as the U on it. Then look at the two other colors on the corner. Find the three sides that when complete those three colors touch each other and are the same three colors including the color of the U as the color of that corner piece. Rotate that corner piece so that it is below where you want it to go (if its in the right spot leave it there and it does not have to be rotated the right way so that it lines up just make sure its below the spot where it should be or in the spot that it should be without messing up the plus on the U).

After that perform this algorithym until that corner piece is perfectly in the right spot : Ri, Di, R, D

Do this for all corners until the U is one solid color and you see a T on each side formed by that color which should look like this:

Getting the 4 side pieces:

Now that you have the top row complete it’s time to work on the middle row. Turn the cube upside down. There are 4 pieces you’ll need to find.

For example you'll need to find the red and green piece to go here.

Rotate the red and green piece on the U only. Make sure that you rotate it so the red or the green side of that piece is on top of the appropriate color. It should look like this:
