Beginner courseLesson 11 of 11

You solve Rubik's cubes now.

Read that heading again — it's true, and it never stops being a great party trick. You went from 54 meaningless stickers to reading pieces, speaking notation, and running seven algorithms with intent:

The triggerR U R' U'
Right insertU R U' R' U' F' U F
Left insertU' L' U L U F U' F'
Yellow crossF R U R' U' F'
SuneR U R' U R U2 R'
Corner cycleU R U' L' U R' U' L
Edge cycleR U' R U R U R U' R' U' R2

Where to go from here

  1. 1Time your solves — five a day, watch the Ao5 fall. This is the habit everything else grows from.
  2. 2Revisit any stage in the interactive course, where you can practice each step on a live cube.
  3. 3When sub-minute solves arrive, raid the algorithm library — better PLLs first, they're the quickest wins.
