Solving the Rubik's Cube

1. Get to know your cube. For example, you should know that centre piece colours are always opposite each other. 

2. Solve the white cross. The Rubik's website recommends you aim to create a white cross on the top face of the cube first of all. This will make the next phase easier.

3. Solve the white corners. With the white cross on the top face, you must then solve the white corner pieces. Corner pieces will have one white side plus two other colours.

4. Solve the middle layer, so the bottom two layers of your cube match in colour.

5. Solve the top layer. The first stage of this step is to try and get a yellow cross on the top face of your cube. 

6. Next, you should try and get all the yellow on the top face.

7. Position the yellow corners correctly. Twist the top face, which should be yellow, until at least two of the corners are in the right location.

8. Finally, correctly place the centre pieces.
