Cracking the Rubik's Cube Code: A Beginner's Guide to Basic Move Strategies
Hey there cube enthusiasts! Are you just starting out on your Rubik's cube journey? No worries, we've got you covered. Before you dive into the more advanced algorithms, it's important to master the basic moves. Trust us, it'll make solving the cube a whole lot easier in the long run. First things first, let's talk about the difference between clockwise and counterclockwise turns. Think about it like this: if you're holding a water bottle with your left hand and closing the cap with your right hand, the way you're turning the cap is clockwise. Counterclockwise would be the opposite, like opening the cap. Got it? Now let's talk about the different parts of the cube. It's made up of 3 types of pieces: centers, edges, and corners. Each face of the cube is made up of 1 center, 4 edges, and 4 corners. And each face is a different color (red-orange, yellow-white, and blue-green). These colors will always be opposite on the solved cube. When you're hol...
