How to Solve a 4x4 Rubik's Cube

by thegamepuppies

Hello everyone! have any questions, comment down and I will answer
you. Thank You!
If you were wondering, there are not a lot of 4x4 Rubik's
Cube solves that involves a real cube. Well you came to Let's get started!
the right place to do it. Some of the solves require some
3x3 methods. If you haven't seen my 3x3 solve, Click Supplies:
here. Anyway, I'll try to make it easy for you guys to
4x4 Rubik's Cube
remember and to solve it. Hope you enjoy. Later, I might
make a another Rubik's Cube solves if you enjoy this and

the 3x3. If you see any moves that involves "()", it means
that you can also solve it another way. Remember if you

Step 1: Know Your Cube

Before we move on, we must know what moves in the
4x4. It's a little di erent but some are the same. This cube
add a extra slot so we need to learn a little bit more. As
you can see in the rst 12 pictures is the main moves for
every cube except the circle cubes or something else.
For the one that have the 2 cubes together, it's called
"w" like for example, I want to move 2 pieces at once. We
call that Uw. And you must remember about the prime " '
" if you don't remember, look at the picture that have
this symbol " ' ". Sorry if there is a lot of pictures about
what moves because I need you guys to learn about the
moves and how to solve the 4x4 Rubik's cube. First 12
pictures are main moves, next 13 pictures with "w", and
last 10 pictures are the moves that is inside the cube.
Continue to the next step to solve the cube

Step 2: Solve the Middle White Pieces

This step should be pretty easy to solve. Everyone can do this rst step. Use everyone cube to solve the white side.

Continue to the next step if you complete this

Step 3: Solve the Yellow Middle

The next step is to solve the yellow middle. This step is a side, move this. l' (Lowercase L prime), U2 (U2'), l
little tricky but not too tricky. The trick you have to do is (Lowercase L).
make a bar like the rst picture. As you can see in my rst
picture, I have a yellow on the right and on the left. So I If you have it on the right side, move this. r, U2 (U2'), r'
can move F2, Uw' (d'), (Dw').
Continue to the next step if you complete this step
Once you have 2 bars lined up either you have the left

Step 4: Solve the Rest of the Middle Color

Now this step is a little more tricky because you have to
solve it without messing up the order of the color and
not messing up the white and yellow middle color. Turn
your 4x4 Rubik's Cube on the side as shown. You must
remember this order in order to solve it or you could
messed up the color. Remember this color, Red, Blue,
Orange, Green or RBOG. You can start at one color and
follow the color. Use the last 2 steps to solve all the color.
Make sure you mostly use the main moves, not 2
pieces at once or the inside moves.You can move 2
pieces at once but only use Lw (Lw'), and Rw (Rw') and
you can move the inside moves but only l (l')(Lowercase
L), r (r').
Once you only have 2 colors left and it looks like the
second picture and it must look like it, move this. Rw, U,
Rw'.
Continue to the next step if complete

Step 5: Organize the Non Mixed

If step is a little more tricky but if you complete this step, make sure to do it on Right top side where it show this
you can nished it yourself. I'll still show you how to sign " ≠", move this. Uw, L', U', L, Uw'
solve it with you have problems. I'll try to say it as easy as
it can. For these picture, it's not mine but easier if I show If yours look like the third cube in the rst picture then
you. Click the rst picture to see all the cubes. either move the rst move or the second move, move
this. R, U', B', R2
As you can see on you rst cube in the rst picture, there
are yellow and red on the left side as shown. Also make Once you match every color but still have the same as
sure do it on the Left side top where it said "Not the second picture, move this. Dw, R, F', U, R', F, Dw'
matching". If you have that, move this. Uw', R, U, R', Uw
Continue to the next step if complete
If yours look like the second cube in the rst picture but

Step 6: Solve the Whole Middle Color

Now once you have organize all your color in order to
solve it, we now try to solve it like a Rubik's Cube.
If you forgot how to properly solve it like a Rubik's Cube,
I'll still show you.
If yours look like the rst picture, move this. U, R, U', R'
Now, we are gonna solve the rest of the middle side.
If yours look like the fourth picture, move this. U' L', U, L,
U, F, U', F'
If yours look like the fth picture, move this. U, R, U', R',
U', F', U, F

If yours look like the second picture, move this. R, U2, R',
U', R, U, R' (R, U, R', U' x3)
If yours look like the third picture, move this. R, U, R', U',
R, U2, R', U', R, U, R' (R, U, R', U' x4)
If yours look like the sixth picture and make sure after
you move it, do either move fourth move or the fth
move. F', U, F, U, R, U', R'

Step 7: Solve the Yellow Side

This part can be hard because of the parity. I'll show you
all the ways you can solve the yellow side.
If you have something like the rst 3 pictures and also
continue to do this step if have the same thing, move
this. F, R, U, R', U', F'
If you have something like the middle 4 pictures, move
this .R, U, R', U, R, U2, R'
If you have a oll parity that looks similar to the last
picture and also make sure you are facing the parity,
move this. r', U2, l (lowercase L), F2, l' (lowercase L), F2,
r2, U2, r, U2, r', U2, F2, r2, F2
Continue to the next step if you completed the yellow
side

Step 8: Solving the Second to Last Layer

Come on we are so close to the end but we got to If yours look like the last picture, move this twice. R', F,
complete this rst. Skip this step if you already have R', B2, R, F', R', B2, R2 (x2)
every same color corner and only need to solve
it.Also make sure it matches the right color to do it. Continue to the last step!!!

If yours look like the rst 2 pictures, move this. R', F, R',
B2, R, F', R', B2, R2

Step 9: Solve the Last Layer

You are so close to solve your rst 4x4 Rubik's Cube! But
rst, we need to solve the last layer. Not to be confused
about the photo, the rst two pictures is just a view
of a whole cube.
If you have something like the rst picture, move this.
F2, U, L, R', F2, R, L', U, F2
If yours look like the second picture, move this and
make sure you start where the blue on the left. F2, U',
R', L, F2, L, R', U', F2
If you have a pll parity in the third picture, move this and
make sure it's on the left side not the right. R, U, R',
U', r2, U2, r2, Rw2, r2, u2, (Rw2, U', R, U', R') U, R, U', R'
If you have a oll parity in the fourth picture, move this
and make sure you face where the parity is at. r', U2, l
(lowercase L), F2, l' (lowercase L), F2, r2, U2, r, U2, r',
U2, F2, r2, F2
If you have 2 color switched like the second to last 2
pictures, move this. r2, U2, r2, Rw2r2, U2, Rw2
If you have all color switched, last the last 2 picture,
move this. M2, U, M2, U2, M2, U, M2
