The steps of the Pyraminx 3x3


The Pyraminx 3x3 will be made per layer.

Step 1.1

The external edges and corners of the 1st layer

When the outer edges and corners have been taken care of, your puzzle will look like this:

No particular algorithm.

The placement of pieces must remain intuitive.

Step 1.2

The lateral edges of the 1st layer

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

We will have to look for the side edges on the second layer and place them correctly in the manner shown opposite.


Case a

The element to be placed is to the right on the 2nd layer

The algorithm allows you to lower it.

Case b

The element to be placed is on the left on the 2nd layer

The algorithm allows you to lower it.

Step 2.1

The lateral edges of the 2nd layer

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


We will have to look for the correctly oriented side edge on the 2nd layer and place it at the back.

The other 2 side edges must be oriented in the manner indicated opposite.


The algorithm allows them to be swapped.

Step 2.2

The outer edge of the 2nd layer and the corner of the 3rd layer

When the outer edge and corner have been processed, your puzzle will look like this:

We will have to correctly place the side edges of the 2nd layer as shown opposite.

The corner of the 3rd layer must also be placed correctly in relation to the outer edge of the 2nd layer.


Case a

Rotate in direction clockwise

The algorithm allows them to be rotated.

Case b

Rotate in direction counterclockwise

The algorithm allows them to be rotated.

Your Pyraminx 3x3 is solved.
