Introduction: How to Solve a 2x2 Rubiks Cube
Step 1: Solving the White Side, Plus a Continuous Line Around the Top
Start the white side on any side that has. a white piece. From there, you want to look at all the white pieces on the cube. Match up the white pieces on the top by using the algorithm: Ri, Di, R, D. You have to get all the white pieces on the top face, as well as having a continuous line of green, red, blue, and purple (or black depending on your cube) right underneath the white layer. Accomplishing this can be done with common sense, and figuring out where the corners have to go in order to match up correctly.
Step 2: Solving the Yellow Layer
Now with the white side and colored layer completed, turn your cube over. If you have one yellow piece, position that in the bottom left corner and do the following algorithm: R, U, Ri, U, R, U2, Ri. (U2 is up 2 times. After the algorithm put the yellow piece(s) in the bottom left again and do the algorithm again and keep doing this until the yellow side is complete.
Step 3: Orienting the Last Corners
Turn the cube until a pair of colors (like red or blue, that are together) matches up with a pair of the same colors from under the white layer,creating a complete side. By now, you should have 3 sides solved. LAST STEP: Turn that solved side (whatever color it is) to the back side and do this algorithm: Ri, F, Ri, B2, R, Fi, Ri, B2, R2
Step 4: You're Done!!
Congratulations! You've completed the 2x2. You make now wave your hands in the air like you just don't care. :) Your welcome.

This would have been good... If my cube was exactly like yours. I had three sides, yellow, white, and orange. This tutorial messed it up. It doesn't even tell what the letters mean

Bad, bad bad tutorial.
Procedure not explained correctly, no pitfalls
are described and it also doesn't explain what its letter is leaving
the job for the people in the comments.

After watching https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bCn8TajrPqc I only understood what i is, it's inverted whilst without the i means counter clockwise

u are stupid. It shows u how to solve the Rubix cube not its meaning and what it does and what the letters mean. Ppl wanted to know how to solve it so that's what this person did. They didn't ask what the letters mean then they would've put it on the instructions.

What do the letters for the algorithim R, U, Ri, U, R, U2, Ri mean?

what does "F" and "B" mean?
also im confused about what it means by the "i" part of say as an example "Ri". Can somebody tell me how to do the the parts where it says the "i"?
Reply 4 years ago
basically i is inverted and without the i is counter clockwise

The f means front and b means back and the i means inverse or opposite
Reply 6 years ago
f is front, b is back. The I means inverted, or counterclockwise when you look at the side directly.

If you would like to know allt he Rubik's cube notations, and what most of the lettering means, I highly suggest going to this website. It's a LOOOTTT of help! :)

F means Front (the side closest to you) and B means Back (the side far from you), the side you don't see.
i = invert (counter clockwise).
R means, turn the right side clockwise (if you're looking at the right side from the right) so it's pushing the right side away.
Ri means turn the right side counter clockwise, so it's pulling the right side towards you.
