6x6 · Intermediate
Faster centres, edge pairing in groups, and parity recognition. Consistent sub-5-minute solves.
Move sequences on this page are only checked to be legal moves for this puzzle in cubing.js. Treat them as demonstrations of the notation and the method, not as verified algorithm lists.
Centres in blocks
Build centres in groups of pieces rather than one at a time. Extend a built block along its row using slice moves and undo the setup.
Edges
Pair four-wing edges in two stages: join the inner wings first, then the outer wings. This halves the number of looks.
Parity
Learn to recognise parity before you start the 3x3 stage. It shows up as an odd number of flipped or swapped edge pairs.
