What is a 2×2 cube?
The 2×2 is made up entirely of corner pieces — there are no edge or centre pieces. Each face shows four squares, and a solved cube has one colour per face, exactly like a 3×3.
Why solving a 2×2 can still be challenging
- There are no fixed centre pieces to orient yourself by
- Every turn moves several corners at once
- Corners must be both in the right place and the right way round
- A face that looks nearly finished can be undone by the next turn

How to enter a 2×2 cube
