How to Scramble a Rubik's Cube to Solve the Beginners Method

The beginner's method to solving a traditional three by three Rubik's Cube requires you to start by solving one of the faces of the cube and subsequently working your way down until the entire cube is completed. In order to follow the beginner's method, the cube must initially be well scrambled. Any thoroughly scrambled Rubik's Cube can be solved with the beginner's method, however, as there is no one correct way to scramble the cube.

Instructions

- 1
  Familiarize yourself with your Rubik's Cube. Each cube has six different colored faces each consisting of nine blocks. Three different types of blocks exist, center pieces in the middle of each side, edge pieces located in the middle of rows with two colors and corner pieces located on the corners with three colors. This information will help you when scrambling the cube and when solving it.
- 2
  Hold the Rubik's Cube with one side facing you and turn the top row once.
- 3
  Turn the cube in your hand so you are looking at a different side. Turn one of these rows (any will do) once.
- 4
  Continue picking new sides and turning a single row until the cube is visibly scrambled. When it looks scrambled, it is ready to solve.
