Holding your Cube

Holding your Rubik’s Cube with the white centerpiece on the top face, you must create a white cross as shown. Much of this level is achieved with practice and by trial and error… but we do have some tips.

• - Notice the EDGE PIECE COLORS above match the top white centerpiece and the side red and blue centerpieces. This is how we know the edge pieces are in the correct positions.

• - Keeping the white centerpiece on top, move the blue/white edge piece to the bottom face, then rotate it on the bottom until it is directly under the blue centerpiece.

• - If your Rubik’s Cube looks like this, do the sequence below making sure the blue centerpiece is on the right face:
