Step 3: Completing the Top Layer of the Rubik's Cube

💡Use a specific set of moves to go from no cross to a complete cross on the top layer.

🎯Focus on getting an arrow shape, then a line shape, and finally a plus shape on the top layer.

⏰Timing is not important for this step, as the same set of moves is repeated multiple times.

✅Check if any of the corners are already in the correct position before starting the corner orientation step.

🔄If none of the corners are in the correct position, repeat the corner orientation moves until at least one corner is correct.

What is the goal of step 3?

—The goal of step 3 is to complete the top layer of the Rubik's Cube by solving the cross, aligning the corners, and orienting them correctly.

What are the shapes you should aim for on the top layer?

—You should aim for an arrow shape, then a line shape, and finally a plus shape on the top layer.

Do the moves need to be timed?

—No, timing is not important for this step, as the same set of moves is repeated multiple times.

Should I check if any corners are already in the correct position?

—Yes, before starting the corner orientation step, it's a good idea to check if any of the corners are already in the correct position.

What should I do if none of the corners are in the correct position?

—If none of the corners are in the correct position, you should repeat the corner orientation moves until at least one corner is correct.

00:00In this video, we learn how to complete the top layer of the Rubik's Cube.

01:31Start by solving the cross on the top layer using a specific set of moves.

03:49Once the cross is solved, focus on getting an arrow shape, then a line shape, and finally a plus shape on the top layer.

07:15Check if any corners are already in the correct position before starting the corner orientation step.

09:32If none of the corners are in the correct position, repeat the corner orientation moves until at least one corner is correct.
