The Steps of the Pyraminx 3x3


The Pyraminx 3x3 will be completed layer by layer.

Step 1.1

The outer edges and corners of the first layer

Once the outer edges and corners have been completed, your puzzle will look like this:

No particular algorithm.

The placement of the pieces should remain intuitive.

Step 1.2

The side edges of the first layer

Once the side edges have been completed, your puzzle will look like this:

We will need to find the side edges on the second layer and place them correctly as shown opposite.


Case a

The element to place is on the right on the 2nd layer

The algorithm allows us to move it down.

Case b

The element to place is on the left on the 2nd layer

The algorithm allows us to move it down.

Step 2.1

The side edges of the 2nd layer

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


We will need to find the correctly oriented side edge on the 2nd layer and place it at the back.

The other two side edges must be oriented as shown opposite.


The algorithm allows you to swap them.

Step 2.2

The outer edge of the second layer and the corner of the third layer

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

We must correctly position the side edges of the second layer as shown opposite.

The corner of the third layer must also be correctly positioned relative to the outer edge of the second layer.


Case a

Rotate clockwise

The algorithm allows you to rotate them.

Case b

Rotate in the direction counterclockwise

The algorithm allows them to be rotated.

Your 3x3 Pyraminx is solved.
