Layer-by-layer or beginner shortcuts? 🧩

A common mistake I see with new cubers is trying to memorize too many algorithms too early.

For beginners, the first goal should not be “learn more formulas.”

The first goal should be:

✅ understand what each step is trying to do

✅ keep the cube under control

✅ turn smoothly instead of rushing

✅ solve it consistently before trying to get faster

Speed comes later. Confidence comes first.

Question for you:

When you first learned the Rubik’s Cube, what was the hardest part?

1. Making the cross

2. Solving the first layer

3. Solving the second layer

4. Last layer algorithms

5. Not giving up 😄
