Solve the 3×3 cube, even if you've never touched one
Thai & English • standard notation • animated 3D
Learn the reasoning, not just the algorithms
This guide teaches the layer-by-layer method, the standard beginner method used around the world, in 8 steps. Every step has animated examples you can play one move at a time, and explains why each move works.
🗺️ The 8 steps
We solve one layer at a time, bottom → middle → top. The “standard name” column gives the terms you’ll meet again in the speed method (CFOP).
| Step | What you do | Standard name | Main algorithm |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | White edges around yellow | Daisy | No algorithm |
| 2 | White cross | Cross | No algorithm |
| 3 | First-layer corners | First layer corners | RUR'U' |
| 4 | Middle layer | Second layer → F2L | URU'R'U'F'UF |
| 5 | Yellow cross | Edge OLL | FRUR'U'F' |
| 6 | Yellow face | Corner OLL (Sune) | RUR'URU2R' |
| 7 | Place top corners | Corner PLL | L'URU'LUR' |
| 8 | Place top edges | Edge PLL | L'U'LU'L'U2L |
The steps and algorithms match the popular Thai “How to solve the 3x3x3” poster, so you can use both together.
📱 How to use this guide
- Drag left and right on any cube to look around it; the Top/Btm buttons switch the viewing angle
- Press ▶ Play to watch a whole example, or ⏭ for one move at a time. Tap a move to jump to that point
- Grey pieces don’t matter yet in this step; blinking pieces are the ones being discussed
- Your progress, times and practice cube are saved on this device automatically
- Switch language with TH / EN at the top right, and install the site as an app on your phone to use it offline
💡 Before you start
- Always hold the cube the same way: in this guide, yellow on top, white on the bottom, green in front (so orange is right, red is left and blue is at the back)
- Get comfortable with one step before moving on. There’s no need to learn everything in one day
- Messing it up is fine! You can always restart a step, and mistakes are how you learn
- Keep a real cube in your hands and follow along move by move
