How To Solve A 2x2 Rubik's Cube

How To Solve A 2x2 Rubik's Cube

There are only three easy steps to solving the 2x2 Rubik's Cube.

1) Lower Half
2) Matching The Top Corners
3) Flipping The Top Side

Step 1

The first part of the 2x2 cube is similar to the second part of the 3x3 cube. You are skipping the cross and switching the corners. Here is the formula:

Ri U R Ui Ri U R

Ri Ui R U Ri Ui R
Ri Ui R
Ui Ri U R

Step 2

Now that you have finished half of the cube, you are going to skip the middle. So you fix the top side of the Rubik's Cube. You are going to match the corners first just like matching the Rubik's 3x3. Here is the formula for matching the top corners into the right position:

Ui R Ui Li U Ri Ui L



Step 3

You are almost finished! Now just simply flip the yellow tiles to the top. These are the formulas for flipping the yellow tiles:

R U Ri U R U U Ri

Or you can use counter-clockwise:

R Ui Ui Ri Ui R Ui R

You should be finished after a couple of times.
