At the end of the stage, the cube should be solved The cube in this step should be solved from the first try or after 2 tries. The colors of the upper layer will not be arranged correctly. At the beginning of this stage, you should have the lower layer and the upper yellow layer solved. Our program quickly scans for the SHORTEST solution for any given scramle - and gives you an awesome 3D step by step guide showing how to solve your puzzle. How to solve a Rubik's cube 2x2 - Step 3. This is why here at Grubiks we've created this OPTIMAL Rubik's Mini Cube Solver (2x2x2). Solving the Rubik's Mini Cube (2x2x2) may sometimes seem like an easy task comparing to solving its predecessor the original Rubik's Cube (3x3x3), however it can still pose a decent challenge for most of us - especially when trying to solve it in the shortest possible way. Faster, better, and supports more devices.
