Beginners

Here is the guide for complete beginners on how to solve the Rubik's cube using the Roux Method.

Make sure to read the notation page if you don't know any notation, but even if you're not too confident with them, the interactive cube can still be very helpful.

Cube Pieces

Each 3x3 cube has 3 distinct cube types:

1. Corner pieces
   • There are 8 corner pieces on each cube, and each corner piece has 3 different colours on them.
2. Edge pieces
   • There are 12 edge pieces on each cube, with each edge piece having 2 different colours on them.
3. Centers
   • There are 6 centers on each cube, with each center consisting of just 1 colour.`
   • No matter how much you mess the cube up, the orientation of the centers remains identical — white opposite yellow, blue opposite green, and red opposite orange
