1)Choose one color to start with.

2)Turn the cube to form a right-angled cross  of the color you have chosen.

3)Place the colored squares which match each side’s top row middle square and rotate the cube to make each side-face center square match the color of the top row middle square.

4)Rotate the cube to make the three of the top faces’ corner squares match up with each other.

5)Rotate the cube to make the top side face down and solve three of the second layer’s edge pieces by rotating the lower slice horizontally.

6)Hold the cube with the original color face pointing upwards.  A square is maybe in the correct space, but needs to be rotated for the color to match its adjacent squares. Turn the layer vertically to make the desired square  on the cube’s bottom layer and turn horizontally to align the square opposite its final position, and then rotate the layer vertically to put it into its correct place.
7)Match up the corner pieces of the bottom layer.
