How to Solve a 4x4
(Beginners Guide)

In this tutorial we will learn how to solve a 4x4x4 speed cube. We have split this guide into 3 easy-to-follow steps, which also include an easy-to-follow video. The walkthrough has been written for intermediate cubers who can already solve a 3x3 with the CFOP (or beginners) method.

Step 1
Solving the Centers

Title

We solve all 6 centres as the image above shows. Also making sure to build them on the correct faces.

Step 2
Pairing the Edges

Title

We solve the edge pairs 1 by 1, not positioning them yet though. In the next step we will shuffle them about.

Step 3
Solve it like a 3x3

Title

We then solve the rest of the 4x4 as if it were a 3x3. If we encounter parity we will learn how to solve it.
