3x3

The 3x3 Rubik's Cube is a 3D puzzle with 6 colored faces that can rotate; the goal is to make each face a single color.

About the 3x3 Cube

3x3 solving means learning how to solve the standard Rubik's Cube by completing the layers or using a faster speedcubing method. Solvers learn basic algorithms, cube notation, finger tricks, and pattern recognition.

Before learning 3x3 solving, it is recommended to understand the cube's colors, pieces, and movements. Starting with a beginner method is best, and later learning an advanced method like CFOP can make solving much faster and more efficient.
