Want to learn how to solve a 6x6? well, You've got to start by learning the correct notation. We have included both the WCA official and unofficial notations in the guide below. In this guide we learn the outer moves, inner moves, center slice moves and wide moves all on the 6x6. In the images below the part of the puzzle that is greyed out is the part of the puzzle which does not move. The pieces in colour are the pieces that we will rotate.
Please Note: All images used in this guide are generic pictures of 6x6 Speed Cubes and may not be genuine Rubik's brand cubes. All images are for illustrational and educational purposes only
