Steps Of Solving A 5x5x5 Cube

In this tutorial we will introduce the ‘Reduction method’ which will require us to first solve the center 9 pieces and turn the edge pieces to form an equivalent to the 3x3x3 cube. Then we will be able to quickly solve the cube using the methods for solving the 3x3x3 cube.

1. Solve the center 9 pieces of all 6 sides

Step of Solving center pieces

STEP 1:

Find the center

STEP 2:

Solve the edge of the center

STEP 3:

Solve the corner of the center

1. Solve the center 9 pieces of the white side

Step 1: Solve the center edge pieces

Facing the white side, move the center edge piece to be replaced to the black position shown in the figure, and then apply the corresponding formula according to the following situation until the center cross is completed.

Step 2: Solve the center corner pieces

Facing the white side, move the center corner piece to be replaced to the black position shown in the figure, and then apply the corresponding formula based on the following situation until the white center 9 pieces is completed.

2.Restore the yellow center first, followed by the remaining four center faces in sequence.

2. Solve 12 sets of edge pieces

Each group of edge pieces consists of 1 center edge and 2 side edges. First, the middle edge block is combined with one side edge block, and then it is combined with the remaining side edge block.

1. Merge a set of edge pieces

Step 1: Combine a side edge with a middle edge (We take blue/yellow edges as example.)

Move the middle edge pieces to the position as shown below,apply algorithm 5/6 accordingly to line up the edge pieces.
