Now we turn the bottom layer once to the left. If our key word is “left”, then we will turn the front away from the left side as if our focus area is scared of the left. It means “Away.” We turn the front of our cube in the opposite direction of our key word. (Having trouble memorizing all these steps for the cube? Check out my cheat sheet.)
And you won’t have to remember them forever. They look harder than they really are at first. The ABC move is setup so you can easily memorize some moves. Now that you know the key word, you can do the ABC move. In the example below, our keyword is left. Hopefully, you can now identify what your key word is. But… you really don’t need to know that, just follow the instructions and the piece will end up where it needs to go. The ABC move will actually take the highlighted piece and insert it into one of those locations. Those question marks show where we are about to move the highlighted piece. Info you could probably ignore: Notice the question marks on cube image. In the example below, the key word is “Left”, because red is on the left side. Now where is the red side of the cube? Is it left or right? The answer to that becomes your keyword. You just look at the color at the tip of the “T” you made. So how do we find the key word each time? Simple. Then after we do the ABC move, we find a new key word and do the ABC move again. It should make a large “T” shape!įor the ABC move we need to first know our key word. While holding the front yellow side, we will turn the back two rows until you find the matching color. What color is it? In the example below it’s blue. Now that we have a non-yellow focus area, we can make the “T”. Calm down. Refer to the section further down called, “All of my potential focus areas have yellow! Now what?” 2 – Make the “T” Question! What if all of my potential focus areas have yellow? Am I stuck now? I can’t advance to the “T” move until I find a non-yellow piece surrounding the yellow center. When both parts of your focus piece are non-yellow, you are ready to move on to the “T” move. (Of course, the yellow side will still be facing you as you rotate.) What do you do if your focus area includes yellow? Rotate the cube to find another piece that works. If the red or blue were yellow, we couldn’t use that piece.
The focus piece has two parts: red & blue. This step is all about the pieces surrounding the yellow center. Notice the cube on the right. Look at the focus area in the image below. Lets look at what I call the “focus area”. The other colors were all treated the same way. Up to now, the only specific color that has mattered is white. Reposition your cube so the white side is in the back and the yellow side is facing front.ġ – Focus piece does not contain yellow. So your cube should look something like this right now. We will be looking at different tops, but yellow side will still face us. Warning: You need to know the 26 letter alphabet to continue! Are you ready? A good prerequisite for this course is kindergarten.ĭuring this entire step 4, the yellow cube will almost always be facing you. This step can be confusing at first, so watch out! But once you get the hang of it, its most people’s favorite step. Just look at how much you have done already. Okay… on to the ABC step. The top two layers will be completely solved. Your goal of the ABC step is to have most of the cube complete.
