- In this video I show you how to solve your 4x4 Rubik's Cube! You must already know how to solve a regular 3x3 Rubik's cube in order to use this method. The method I show is called the Reduction method and is the easiest to learn for beginners. If you have any questions leave them in the comments 😁👍

Chill....It's just a cube dude😂
How did you even do that it’s impossible😢😢
Is ur dad missing?
Thank u soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much i solved it within half an hour ❤
U r the best
Its so satisfying solving a 4x4 like a 3x3
thank you my 4x4 has been scrambled and in a corner for 3 months and I finally learned how to solve it
Mine has been scrambled for over 5 years
Same LoL😊
The flipping algorithm was the KEY for me. I figured out the rest, but that was so helpful and makes sense now. Thank you for making this video!
I tried another tutorial once, and it was longer, too quick, and I didn’t understand it. This tutorial managed to be more simple and shorter, and I learned now to solve a 4x4 SO easily with this tutorial! This was a blessing. Thank you so much!
How the hell did he solved those 3 layers😒😒 thats the problem for which im jumping to one video to another but all of them does it quickly without explaining 😑

Best method out of all the 4x4 tutorials out there. Thank you for posting.
9:21 What? How did you even get 4 up there, the maximum I can get is 3 because when I try to pair the last one and insert it to the top, i have to kick out a solved one into the middle layer and arrange the centers which ends up ruining the edge. I would like an explanation on how to do this.
Edit: Nevermind i figured it out, you have to take out a solved one, rotate and put it back.
can use explain it better please cuz i have the same problem too and didn't understand your solution
@@teomandemir8918 * I assume you have already figured it out* , but as i was also struggling with this if you only have a 3 up 'top' and are trying to get a 4th up:
replace an 'old' solved pair by turning up the newly solved pair (you should have 3 solved pairs right now before you turn it back down)
Rotate the top layer so the unparied side is changed with the newly assigned pair.
Turn back the unparied side to the middle layers.
You should now have 4 solved pairs on the top!
(finish the middle algorithm)
You can now turn the cube and work on the bottom(now top)
Finally after rewinding the video for countless time I finally solve it !!!!!! Thank u my guy!!!
0:07 Rubik's Tesseract
mine isn’t working right or i’m doing something wrong. every time i try to move it like a 3x3 on that step my yellow and a nothing color get mixed up
Ok I made the red center and when I try and work on another center I always end up messing up the red center 😞
Try to make the first 2 centers you solve next to each other like solve green and orange first or red and blue etc. so you don’t have the center pieces opposite from each other
I did the center prices intuitively, but I got stuck on getting all the edges paired
Same

Same how did he get all the fandoms from the yellow centre?
i’ve got the first 3 layers down but for whatever reason i don’t end up with a “parity”. my 2 center edge yellows or flipped. ones up ones down
This is the third youtuber i found when i was trying to solve my 4x4 cube, but the result is the same.
I complete the white centre
I try complete the yellow centre, but somehow the yellow centre ends up next to the white one, not opposite.
PLZ HELP ME.
On the 4x4 you can build the centers on any face you want. That is why it is important to make sure that you are placing them in the correct position according to the Rubik’s cube color scheme. If you hold your white center on bottom, yellow in front, you have to move the yellow to the top layer. You do this by doing this: turn the right 2 layers of the cube clockwise, top side twice, right layers counterclockwise. Then do: left 2 layers counterclockwise, top side twice, left 2 layers clockwise. This should move the yellow center to the top position. Use another cube as a guide for where to build the remaining centers, as you could place them in the wrong place on a 4x4. Hope this works for you. 👍
You need to try a few times. But I got it in the first time
Just keep trying
Thank you for your practical vids and work for us so we can get wise with the cube. Awesome
When solving the last random edge I don’t know how to do the last on. Can someone tell me how

Thanks for teaching me how to solve a 4 x 4
What do u do if u have a problem with the last yellow corners like if u keep solving the the cube but then the corners don’t line up
I’m late.
Your centers are screwed up. Color Scheme is Blue Orange Green Red with White on the Left side
@@masterop4687I'm in the same situation but my colors are correct. I'm unsure how to solve. I've matched my cube to look just like his in the video and I can't seem to pair my corners for the last step before the solve. Any advice?
Try twisting corners and redoing it maybe the backside of your cube is wrong.@@blankface911

I already knew how to solve a 3 by 3 so when i tried to solve a 4 by 4 i just had the yellow side left and got confused
Thank you for your simple and helpful tutorial. Took me an hour to solve for the first time following your guide. Maybe would had been faster had I not hit the OLL parity and screw up the algorithm and redo again the center pieces. Without knowing how to solve the 3x3, I don't think a beginner would know how to solve a 4x4. Anyway I had subscirbe to your channel. Keep up the good work Nic! 👍
Thank you so much!
This was so helpful! Tysm!! Ill just learn the algorithm's you earned yourself a view a like and a subscriber
Seems challenging, I wish I had a 4x4 cube to practice with, for now I guess I should try practicing with a regular 3x3 cube
3x3 is ez im 11 and i do it in like 44 seconds best

hey nic, im stuck on the last 4 edges to pair i either get them in different places or some other cases i cant explain for some reason is there anything i can do?
I easily learned it thank you
when i do the white cross after I go to step make white side with one layer it never solves the layer
you probably have the centers in the wrong position. look at a solved puzzle and make sure that you placed the 4x4 centers in the correct position.
I knew hiw to but 3×3 and that was a flex but now I can but 4×4 is even bigger flex. Thank you so much.

THANK YOUUU jperm made no sense but u helped me so much
That's why i came here 😂 jperms tutorial is so bad
I can not get my pairs all together ?? Like either they split a pair or they ruin a center and I can’t put it into a different layer without pulling another pair into it??
If you have 8 edges solved then you are on the last 4 edges stage. You need to insert one of the solved ones into the middle layer so that one of the unsolved ones are in the top layer. Now you have one pair of random edges that you can use to make another pair.
I learned in one night. Thanks bro👍
Same
@AcornAlpha set up the pairs so they are adjacent from each other. Then do TU if you know what that is then do Y turn the whole cube to your left. When your finish that you do this algorithm (RUR')FR'F'R TU' then your done.
thanks you helped me solve my 4x4
After pairing I solve it like a 3x3 till the end.. but I'm left with two corners of yellow, which should swipe each other. Can you help with this?
I have the same problem
Thank u so much I tried several other tutorials and I couldn’t get it that was until I found your video
I am really struggling on the edge pairing with the last 4 edges
Hey buddy, thank you for helping us! I was able to solve most of the cube but not quite all because i was left with two corners being swapped and idk how to replace them :/
I had the same thing, found a solution yet?
@@jasperlippens8285 Jup, there is Tutorial For 4x4 cornerswitching Or so
@@jasperlippens8285 it is called "last two corners parity change" or so, by the "cube solving hero"
when i tried oll after i did the long alg my corners are completely messed up.. anyway to fix this?
all the other videos I tryed didnt work then i did yours and it worked thank you so much!!!! ;)
My cube has the f3l solved and the top layer doesn't have the edges matched correctly (f.e. I have a blue edge solved but on another I have a green one and an orange one matched up)
You need to treat them just like in the edge pairing stage. Pair the edges up one after another until you have both edge pieces with the correct partner.
Hey Nic, when I learned the 3x3, I learned to get the yellow cross on the final side, then get each corner into the right position using the "lefty" algorithm, then orient the corners using the "right-left 180 algorithm". All the tutorials I'm seeing for the 4x4 use a different 3x3 method - where you solve the entire yellow face and THEN solve the third row. I'd like to stick with the method I know from the 3x3, but the "lefty" algorithm isn't working to get the corners into the right position. I always have 2 or 0 corners right, no matter how many times I do the lefty. Are you familiar with this method? And/or do you know an algorithm that will swap the corners?
Yes I know the method you are talking about. That is the beginners method. The one I showed is called CFOP. The issue you are having is called parity. You need to do the PLL parity algorithm and it will fix your corner problem. 👍

Very nice video. Learned how to solve 4x4 in one day
Thanks a ton! You helped me a lot at the final stage. I was stuck there for long and couldn't find the solution. You are great!
how do you solve the last egde pice on the second side? I have all of them in the right slice on the white sied, but when I try to make 2 and 2 on the yellow side the last one dosn't quite come together since I don't have any "random" edges to replace them with
Great video it taught me how to solve my first 4 x 4
Ive gotten to where i have 4 solved edges one one face and 3 solved edges on the other, but everytime i try make the last solved edge and move it into place i cant do it without breaking the centres.. any tips?
Did you figure it out?
I learnt the 4x4 in 40 mins , and I can flex to my friends now! Thx Hyper Cube ! I will keep supporting u !

This helped so much, thank you😁
Jskeke
You are a legend, thank you very much
What if once you solved for all the edges and now you can begin to do it as a 3x3 cube, you face a problem where when you finish doing the white cross along with the second layer of edges, you come up to where the bottom corners are switched In Colors.( when you have the white facing down)?Is there any way to fix this?( this problem comes before the yellow cross problem where you told that it was going to be a long algorithm).
Get your 3x3 and use it as a reference to check and see if you solved the 4x4 centers in the correct position with each center in the right place. That is likely your problem.
Ok thx!
Ok 👍
I use beginners method for solving like 3x3 part and I always end up with 2 corners solved after the yellow cross and matching up the colors
That means that you have PLL parity. Here is a video that shows how to solve it: th-cam.com/video/kfnVnzwHOns/w-d-xo.html
Thank you very much for the tutorial, it helped me so much especialy in that long parity algorithm
Excellent video, thank you 🙏
I don't know if you're going to answer but i hope you do. So my cube had all the yellow edges and corners right except the Yellow/red/blue and the Yellow/orange/ blue corners were on each other's places. What algorithm do i have to do? If you need more explanation just tell me because i am a beginner at the 4×4
This is PLL parity. Do the algorithm for PLL parity and then solve the cube like normal. 👍

@@phase0400 no he is not explaining clearly i know to solve 3*3,2*2,mirror ,pyraminx,and,sqweb but i cant understand this video
@@shankarsanil4733 ive learned 3 by 3 easily. The bit for 3 by 3 is actually easy. (Only the freakin corner parity that somehow i managed to get past). On the corner parity u have to try and get the whites on one side and the yellow on the other. Then solve it by putting the corners in right place (on both sides). Then solve it on both sides. Hope this makes sense

Awesome tutorials. I’m a beginner and I am a bit confused. I get the logic with it but when you’re saying to do a U2, do you mean U’2? I had thought U was moving the top layer clockwise when viewed from above but you’re saying U2 while moving it anti clockwise with your left hand
Thanks for watching. A U2 on a 3x3 is the same if you do it clockwise or counterclockwise, they are both turning the top layer 180 degrees. You can decide which direction you like the best
@@nicnapier thanks for the answer. I feel like an idiot for not realising that haha
It’s all good. Cheers👍
When I did this the last 3 yellow corners were mixed up
That's called parity I believe
You have to reassemble the cube
Break it apart and then rebuild it

So I have 7 pairs in place, 4 on bottom and 3 on top but how do I put the final pair in the top without bringing another one down?
Xuqar when you have the 8th pair made, you position the 3 solved edges on top so that when you move the 8th edge up, it kicks one of the 3 backwards then you insert the other random edge that was on the top layer. Hope this helps, cheers
Long algo did it for me…was stuck on that step for 4 days….Thanks
I got 4 edges paired on one side but only 3 in the other. How do I get the last pair matched?
You need to have 2 edges on the same layer then 1 on the top layer. When you slice the one pair over to match 2 pieces then u insert the top pair then slice back.
Thanks!

The algorithm for three edge case is very difficult

How do you solve if everything is solved except the top 2 corner pieces? I have never had this happen with my 3x3. When I put the corner pieces into place I have only ever had 0 in place , 1 in the right spot or all. Never 2. Help
That is actually nothing to do with the corner pieces. That is a PLL parity case. Go to that part of the video and perform the PLL parity algorithm and then solve the cube like you would normally. Hope this helps
