The steps of Megaminx 3x3


The Megaminx 3x3 will be made by layer and the algorithms come from those of 3x3x3.

Step 1

The first layers

When the layers are fully processed, your cube will look like this:

No particular algorithm.

The placement of pieces must remain intuitive.

Here are the main steps:


The first layer


The second layer


The third layer


The fourth layer


The fifth layer


The sixth layer

Step 2

The edges of the last layer

When the edges have been processed, your cube will look like this:

Orient the edges - Case a

1 single edge well oriented

This formula will make it possible to obtain 3 well-oriented contiguous edges.

Orient the edges - Case b

3 contiguous edges well oriented

This formula will make it possible to obtain 3 well-oriented non-contiguous edges.

Orient the edges - Case c

3 non-contiguous edges well oriented

This formula will allow you to obtain 5 well-oriented edges.

Place the edges



The algorithm will perform a circular permutation of the 3 edges in position 3, 4, 5.

Step 3

The corners of the last layer

When the corners have been processed, your cube will look like this:

Place the corners



The algorithm will swap the 3 left corners clockwise.

Depending on your configuration, you should apply the algorithm 3 or 4 times maximum!!!

Corner orientation may vary. What matters is the location.

(The 3 colors of each corner must correspond to the 3 theoretical faces of the corner)


Orient the corners



The algorithm will allow you to orient the 2 corners of your right upwards.

Depending on your configuration, you should apply the algorithm 3 or 4 times maximum!!!

Remember to orient your cube correctly so as to avoid performing the algorithm more than necessary, that is to say not necessarily the 3rd layer at the top.


Your Megaminx 3x3 is solved.
