In this tutorial, I show you how to solve a 2x2x2 Rubik's cube. I show you the entire process, from start to finish, and include 2 graphics that I created to show you the 7 algorithms that you can use to start solving the yellow layer. Practice executing the algorithms and you will definitely be able to continually improve your solve time with the 2x2x2 cube.

The following cubing algorithms were mentioned in the video:

Solving the white layer
-White sticker on the left:
F D Fi
-White sticker on the right:
Ri Di R
-White sticker on the bottom:
Ri 2D R D Ri Di R
-To bring a white corner cube to the bottom layer:
Ri Di R

Yellow layer algorithms (7 different situations)
-Situation 1:
 Ri Ui R Ui Ri 2U R
-Situation 2:
L U Li U L 2U Li
-Situation 3:
2R 2U R 2U 2R
-Situation 4:
F R U Ri Ui R U Ri Ui Fi
-Situation 5:
F R U Ri Ui Fi
-Situation 6:
R U Ri Ui Ri F R Fi
-Situation 7:
F R Ui Ri Ui R U Ri Fi

To orient the yellow layer, after spinning the top layer counter clockwise:
