Solving a Rubik's cube essentially follows a master plan. While the above sounds simple in theory, the process requires you to know a few "tricks," in order to achieve it. These are essentially little sub-algorithms used to manipulate the pieces into place. We'll dedicate the rest of this article to showing you these algorithms, in order to complete the above "master plan" algorithm. Most of this guide will borrow heavily from the Rubik's cube official guide, as well as the amazing guide from Ruwix.com. The author also only recently learned how to solve a Rubik's cube; and if I can do it so can you!
