Before You Begin

Here are some things you should know about the Rubik’s Cube. Some of these points might strike you as trivial at first, but each affords some insight that will become clearer the more time you spend with the cube.

  • The Rubik’s Cube has six faces.
  • Each face is defined by its center. The face with the blue center will ultimately be blue when the cube is solved.
  • Centers don’t move. White is typically opposite of yellow, blue is typically opposite green, and red is typically opposite orange.
  • Corner pieces have three stickers, and edge pieces have two stickers. When solving the cube, try to keep in mind that you are moving pieces, not stickers. Another way of thinking about this point is that a red sticker on a corner piece will never move to an edge position.
