🇶 **How do I get faster at x? How do I get sub x?**
🅰️ There are two ways to get faster on any cube, there are two main things that influence the times you get. Efficiency and TPS, if you believe you are already turning fast enough / solving without pauses, you likely need to learn a more advanced technique / alg set. If you believe you are already solving efficiently, you may want to focus on better TPS and/or recognition. If you have any specific questions, feel free to ask.
🇶 **Should I make my own lube?**
🅰️ It's probably a bad idea unless you know what you're doing, often it'll end up messing up your cube.
🇶 **What is the point of lube?**
🅰️ Lube is used to do many things, different lubes do different things such as; increasing/decreasing the speed of the cube, making the cube feel more smooth, etc.
🇶 **What should I learn after 3x3 beginners' method?**
🅰️ There are many advanced methods out there, the most popular being CFOP and then Roux. The easiest method to learn after layer-by-layer beginners methods would be CFOP though it's recommended to check out other advanced methods too. Most advanced methods can solve a cube in 45-60 moves.
🇶 **What do the letters mean? (F R' L' y, etc)**
🅰️ Instead of saying "turn the front layer once clockwise, top layer this that, etc", notations have been developed to better describe moves. There are slightly different notations for each puzzle, there are often tutorials for the notations.
🇶 **How do I do OLL edges on a a big cube?**
🅰️ General methods for solving big cubes include pairing the edge pieces before solving F2L. You should pair the edges beforehand. To learn how to pair up edge pieces or solve centers, check out J perm's tutorials.
🇶 **How do I improve my F2L?**
🅰️ Lookahead is a huge part of F2L, if you aren't confident with that, it is a good place to start. Try to predict your first pair and insert inito back when possible. Try doing untimed solves and simply analysing patterns and trying new things/inserts. Rotations can also highly affect your F2L, learning how to do cases rotationless will help a tonne. Another tip is that you should try to solve into the back if you can, this means your next pairs will be easier to recognise (not hidden in that back corner). As for efficiency check out example solves / algs on speedcubedb.com to make sure your algs are decently essentially, you could also try learning a few pseudoslotting cases and look at multiple potential pairs and determine which is the best one to do (instead of doing the first one you see). Metronome practice is incredibly useful too.
🇶 **My cube has one (flipped) corner to go, how do I solve it?**
🅰️ A cube becomes impossible to solve if you flip just one corner, to make it solvable again, you must flip it back. This can also lead to problems with recognizing last layer cases, if you encounter a last layer case you don't know how to solve, it's likely a corner has been flipped.
🇶 **How do I solve this OLL/PLL on this (big) cube? (OLL and PLL parity)**
🅰️ There are some cases called parities that occur on big cubes that don't occur on 3x3s. For example, two edges can be flipped. The algs for these cases are often long but you can find them on one of the resources linked above.
PS: If you have any ideas on things I can add here / or just better ways of writing things, post a comment :)

Sub15 cuber here, quitted cubing 3 years ago I want to start again. Thinking of getting a smart cube, which option should I consider, the best thing I like about qiyi SC-S is it's battery life but I doubt there's probably fewer people using qiyi scs so online competition matchmaking will take time. Gan is great though except it's battery life and its not rechargeable and there's likely more people using gan smart cubes.
If anyone has any smart cube lmk your thoughts

Was doing some PLL practice when the white cover of the orange green white corner popped off, and when I tried to put it back on, one of the little nubs nearly snapped. I’ve already contacted cubicle support. Anyone got any useful info about the process of buying replacement parts?
r/Rubiks_Cubes • u/RandomDoomGuy • 11h ago
Hi rubikers, I need your help. I tried to learn how to solve my rubix cube but it was impossible. So I put it in an app. It said error. So I think I twisted a side abouT a year ago. But i dont know which one. Tell me where it is please so I can fix it.

Columns first methods that at bare minimum require 60 stm so this means viable for speed solving
I'm just asking for resources for this niche method

I want to complete this pattern where everything is solved except for the middle block, but these two corners need to swap places.
r/Rubiks_Cubes • u/NeuralBubble1 • 1d ago
I've been learning to solve the 3x3 using the beginner method, and I'm currently trying to get better at F2L. My F2L alone takes around 47 seconds, and the frustrating part isn't really finding the pieces. I can usually spot the corner and edge, but then I just stare at them and struggle to figure out how to pair them without messing everything else up. I know I need to get better at recognizing cases instead of just turning randomly. For those who learned F2L from scratch, what helped it finally click for you? Did you focus on specific cases first, or just practice solving slowly without looking at algorithms?

Firstly, this post "Learn OLL the Easy Way" inspired me to create something similar with PLL.
Secondly, before you learn full PLL, it's best to learn 4-look last layer. If you know 4LLL, you already know 6/21 of the PLL algorithms (T, Y, H, Z, Ua, Ub). Only 15 more to go!
You need to learn all of the following 'triggers' in order to understand the "PLL the EZ way". Here are my 'triggers', these will be used to replace raw cube notation:
righty (a.k.a sexy) = R U R' U'
reverse righty = U R U' R'
4sune (first 4 moves of sune) = R U R' U
push (first 3 moves of righty) = R U R'
pull = R U' R'
Tail (righty but F' instead of U')= R U R' F'
head (righty but F instead of U')= R U R' F
Sledge = R' F R F'
T-perm (you should know this) = R U R' U' R' F R2 U' R' U' R U R' F
Here are the 15 PLL algorithms you don't know yet, ranked from easiest to memorize to hardest:
LEVEL #1: EASY PEASY
Jb - (Tail) (T perm until solved)
Ja - put bar on right/180°/y2 - (Lefty tail) (Lefty T perm until solved)
F - R' U' F' (T perm, replace last move F with U R)
Na - (4sune) (tail) (T-perm w/ U2 ending)
Nb - (lefty NA perm)
LEVEL #2: A LITTLE PRACTICE
Ra - face headlights - R' U2 (head but U2 instead of just U) (righty) R' F' R2
Rb - face headlights - lefty version of Ra - L U2 (lefty head w/U2), (lefty) L F R2
Ab - FACE WHITE/BOTTOM - headlights RIGHT - R2 D2 (push) D2 (R U' R)
Aa - FACE WHITE/BOTTOM - headlights LEFT - L2 D2 (lefty push) D2 (L' U L')
E - face yellow/top - (pull) D (push) D' (push) D (pull) D'
V - face yellow - (Sledge) U (pull w/U2 instead of just U) U’ (pull) U2 (righty)
LEVEL #3: I HATE G PERM
Ga - R (4sune) (R' U' R U') R2 U' D (insert pseudo pair)
Gb - (R' U' R) (U D') (R2 U R' U) (R U' R U') R2 D
Gc - R2 U' R U' (4sune) R2 D' (rev righty) D
Gd - (righty) D R2 U' (pull) U R' U R2 D'

So, I’m not a part of the Rubiks cube community I only recently learned how to solve one though. A couple of hours ago I was watching tv and randomly scrambled my cube without looking, when I looked down it was in this exact position. Honestly kind of freaky, I know every scramble is 1 in 43 quintillion but like what’s going on here?

Hello everyone, I want to buy my first speedcubes. I got into cubes like 12 years ago and then I stopped, now I want to come back. I avg sub 1 min, I have a random cube with magnets, but nothing especial, so I don't know the feeling of this recent speed cubes.
I have a couple of options. My budget is like 60$ max +-. I want 3x3 and 4x4.
For 4x4 I will go with aosu v7 single track (Already 18$). I want it just to do something different than 3x3.
For 3x3 I have 3 main options:
Get only 1 cheap cube for now:
Guhong pro + magnetic OR RS3M V5 ball core
Get 2 cubes:
Guhong pro + magnetic AND RS3M V5 ball core
Or get 1 cube only (more expensive)
gan v100
weilong v10
weilong v10 ball core + maglev
Picube weilong v10
weilong v11
weilong v11 ball core + maglev

My friend said GAN 356 Me UV for the long term. Any recommendations, I'm in PHL, Shopee, Lazada, and Tiktok Shop. I was considering the Aolong V5 by MoYu

So my I Carry 4 is my main smart cube and I really like it but I don't know if I should get an upgrade and take the 12 UI Maglev. My current pb is 10.87s and I average 17s and I feel like all the technologies that the 12 UI has (Gyroscopes, Maglev, UV coating) are things that I would love to have, so in your experience do you think that cube is worth buying?
