How do you take apart a Rubik's cube 3x3 and put it back together?

To take apart a Rubik's Cube, turn the top layer 45 degrees so that its corners are sticking out over the middle squares of the second layer. Pry up the middle piece on the top layer. Once it's out of place, wiggle it while pushing on the back of the piece to get it to pop out.

Why can't I solve my Rubik's cube?

Most of the times, the Rubik's Cube becomes unsolvable because someone, intentionally or unintentionally, takes one or more pieces out of the cube. If the piece is now put back in the cube in a different position or orientation, the cube will now be impossible to solve.

Can a Rubik's cube become unsolvable?

If you disassemble and reassemble a Rubik's Cube randomly, you have a 91.6% chance of making it unsolvable. Obviously, rearranging the stickers is similarly not good for it.

How do you fix a broken puzzle piece?

Line up the puzzle piece so that it will attach with the least damage showing, if any. Step 2: Place a piece of wax paper in the area that you will be doing your repair. Step 3: Place a drop of glue onto a toothpick. Sparingly place the glue in the area of the break, adding glue on both pieces.

Tips

Don't be rough. Use firm, persistent pressure to get pieces in and out. Yanking or ripping pieces can break them and keep you from getting your cube back together again.

1- The first step to solving the cube is creating a white cross

This step includes 2 mini-steps: the daisy and the cross. Start with daisy, or four white edge pieces around the yellow center piece. This mini step is based on trial and error, but for extra help view this video.

2- Turn the daisy into a white cross

Position the cube with the daisy facing up and the green-white edge facing you. Holding the top layer in place, rotate the bottom 2 layers so the green edge is lined up with its center. Now rotate the front face twice to bring that piece to its correct position in the bottom layer, or F2.

3- Complete the white face, solving the corners one at a time

Locate a corner piece and where it would be in the solved state by identifying the 2 faces it should sit between (a face is identified by the centerpiece).

4- Solve the middle layer

This step will use both the “Left hand” and the “Right hand” algorithm. The idea here is to locate the 4 edge pieces that belong in the middle layer and correctly place them. Yellow faces up for this step. Find an edge at the top layer that doesn’t contain yellow. Position the cube so this edge is facing you.

5- Create a yellow cross or 4 yellow edges around the centerpiece

Currently, there are 3 optional positions for the yellow face: a dot with no edges in place, a half cross, or a line. If the yellow face contains a half cross spin the cube so the cross is pointing right and facing you. If the yellow face contains a line, spin the cube so that it is horizontal.

6- Position the yellow corners in place

First, locate where each yellow corner should be placed on the solved cube. Keeping in mind orientation of the corner doesn’t yet matter, you may need to swap 2 adjacent corners. Use the following algorithm. Keeping the yellow face on top, spin the entire cube so both corners that need to be swapped are to your right.

7- Complete the yellow face

There might be corners that are in the correct place but not oriented in the right direction. Hold the cube so white faces up and the corner that needs reorientation is on your bottom right. Repeat the right-hand algorithm until the corner is in place. Then hold the top 2 layers while rotating the bottom layer clockwise.

This was a great solver! I tried another solver and it said this was an impossible scramble thank you creator I'll be using this more often🥰
