Solving the 4x4 Rubik's Cube is not too much harder than solving a 3x3. The concepts of the steps are as follows: Solve the center pieces; Pair similar edge pieces; Turn only the outer layers, and solve it like a 3x3! In this video I teach the Yau Method, which roughly follows this outline.

Rubik's Cube Move Notations. In order to convey a certain turn or a sequence of turns around the cube through writing, there are certain agreed key letters that specify exactly what move should be made: There are 6 different letters for turning the Rubik's cube, each for the 6 faces of the Rubik's cube to be turned: F (front): the face facing ...

The original cube had stickers (now replaced with tiles in the official Rubik’s Brand Cube) which were prone to peeling off. Not only did this tamper with the look of the puzzle, it also required a lot of maintenance to replace the stickers. This proved to be a hassle for cubers all around the world. There was also the aspect of solving the cube by...
Speedcubes are much looser and have corner cutting as well as tensioning systems to help speed up the movement of the cubes. Each piece is designed to reduce friction as much as possible. Simply put, they are made to turn fast - hence the name “speed” cube. Most cubes also have a specific set of cubers that they cater to and a specific niche that t...
The original rubik’s cube required modding and a lot of experimenting to set up. People tried all different kinds of oils, as well as sanding the pieces and restickering. There had been experimentation with different oils as well as the addition of magnets. Rounding of corners. With the introduction of speedcubes, cubes can now be tensioned to the ...
While the original (Rubik’s brand) cube comes in the range of 500-1000 INR, any modern budget speed cube in the same range or less comes with the latest speedcubing technology to help take your cubing to the next level. Some excellent speedcubes in this range include the Drift 3M,Cubelelo’s in-house magnetic cube and the RS3M 2021, which uses Magle...
The rubik’s cube serves as an excellent leisure activity, improving focus and concentration in the modern “distracted” age. The speedcube on the other hand can help with finger dexterity, hand-eye coordination, high-order thinking skills as well as serving as a test for cognitive skills. Moreover, the speedcube opens the user up to the world of spe...
The speed cube has revolutionized cubing and improvements in speedcubing technology will only further enhance the cubing experience. However, the roots of the speedcube lies in the original cube itself, and it is simply an improved version of the Rubik's brand. It is the experiments with modding and sanding that have led to the modern speedcube. Sp...

BLD stands for Blindfolded, where the solver memorises positions of pieces on a puzzle before donning a blindfold and solving the puzzle. 4BLD and 5BLD are similar, but with 4x4 and 5x5 cubes respectively. MBLD stands for multi-blindfolded where the competitor memorizes many 3x3 cubes, then solves all of them with his eyes closed.
Metha Method. The Metha method method was made for 3x3 by Yash Mehta, but it has been adapted to big cubes by Matthew Hinton with the Mehta-MH method, and it also works on Square-1, but the details for that are still being worked out. There are multiple versions of Mehta.
