Solve it like a 3x3
Finish the cube as a 3x3, with outer turns only.
- You start with (input)Pair the 12 edges
- Result you will get after finishing this stepSolve it like a 3x3
How to do it
- From here, treat each centre block as one centre and each edge pair as one edge, and solve with the 7 steps of the 3x3 guide below.
- Turn outer faces only (, , , , , ). A 2R or splits edge pairs and breaks centres.
- A picture the 3x3 guide does not have at step 4 (yellow cross) or step 7 (yellow edges) is parity: see steps 6 and 7 of the 4x4 guide.
