How to Pair Edge Pieces on the 4x4 Rubik's Cube

TLDRLearn two methods to pair edge pieces on the 4x4 Rubik's Cube, as well as what to do with the last three pairs of edges. Includes step-by-step instructions and helpful tips.

Key insights

:thumbsup:There are two scenarios for pairing edge pieces on the 4x4 Rubik's Cube: diagonal and directly across from each other.

:bulb:To pair diagonal edge pieces, slice the layer, pair them up, and rotate them into the top layer.

:loudspeaker:To pair edge pieces directly across from each other, do a specific move to create a diagonal pair, then pair them up and rotate them into the top layer.

:hourglass_flowing_sand:When you have three pairs of edges left, pair them up one by one and rotate them into the top layer.

Q&A

What is the difference between diagonal and directly across edge pairs?

Diagonal edge pairs are not in the same row or column, while directly across edge pairs are in the same row or column.

Can I pair the edge pieces in any order?

Yes, you can pair the edge pieces in any order as long as they are correctly matched.

What should I do when I have three pairs of edges left?

Pair up each set of edges individually and rotate them into the top layer.

Are there any shortcuts or algorithms for pairing edge pieces?

Yes, there are various algorithms and shortcuts available. You can find them in advanced Rubik's Cube solving methods.

Where can I find a full tutorial on solving the 4x4 Rubik's Cube?

You can find a full tutorial on the creator's channel or by searching online for 4x4 Rubik's Cube solving tutorials.
