However, it is possible to completely solve this step using only 1 algorithm – the first algorithm. It is best to learn all the 7 algorithms. For 2x2, the notations are exactly the same (same faces, same letters, same cube rotations, just without the 'middle layer moves' – as there aren't such in the 2x2 cube)
You will be surprised that some of the algorithms you'll have to know are identical to those you'll need in order to solve the 2x2 cube, and you already know all of them if you are familiar with the speedsolving method.īefore starting the solution guide, make sure you know the Rubik's cube move notations.
So basically solving the 2x2 cube will be identical to solving only the corners of the 3x3. If you can already solve the classic Rubik's cube, then lucky you- you already know how to solve a 2x2 cube! Here is a nice perspective of the puzzle: the 2x2 cube is actually a regular 3x3 cube, without the edges and the center pieces. If you already know how to solve the 3x3 Rubik's cube. You will find out that solving the 2x2 cube is much easier than solving the classic 3x3x3 cube. It is considered the 'easy' version of the Rubik's cube. The 2x2x2 Rubik's cube, or in its official name- the Pocket Cube, is another puzzle in the Rubik's cube series, invented by Erno Rubik.
