    I watched you solve this. You are amazing!

    Hello fellow cube n00b! It literally is the same no matter how you scramble. And seriously, no, it's totally okay to have someone or something guide you in how to do it. Back in the 1980s NOBODY could "just" solve a cube, and then some guy did. The fact that he could just do it on his own ultimately made him a LOT of money. You, reading the comments, you can too! Solving a cube is mostly about knowing what order to solve things in, and how to "save your work" so you can do something without messing up what you already did.
    So let me say first because you already know: YOUR INSTRUCTIONS SUCK. "Do it on your own…" WTF seriously? I'm looking at a GUIDE, and the fastest cubers in the world who can do this shit in 5 seconds started with a list of instructions that look like some alien alphabet that they learned to read to tell them exactly what turns to make to do something!
    White cross step: Do the white edges on the yellow side instead to make a daisy. Then turn the top (up) so youhave a side match, then turn that side twice to put the white edge on the bottom. Repeat three more times. 😀
    White corners: If white part of a corner is sideways, you can drop it where it goes in four turns. Turn it above where it goes, then turn the side that drops it white face down. Then the other side gets turned the same direction (clockwise or anticlockwise) to "save" your work. Then you turn the first and then second side back so white is on the bottom again. That's what the guide means about an intuitive solution, they were hoping you'd work that out without notation jargon, despite the fact they want you to also learn the notation jargon. Srsly. 🤔
    For dropping an edge left or right for second layer: Edge same color as center and not yellow on the other side. Turn it away from where it'll go (U for right or U' for left.) Pull the white corner out (R for right, L' for left) so you can see white. Twist the top back, then the side back (U' R' for right, U L for left) and now you have a "pair" on the top layer. We call that an "F2L pair" because it's a pair that goes into the first two layers. You use these in more advanced ways to solve the cube faster, but for now we're going to insert it. Push it away from you (U' or U again), then "open the slot" by turning the front face (F' or F), pull the pair back toward you (U or U'), and then close the slot (F or F'). It's explained as two algorithms, but it's really one algorithm that has a left side and a right side. And I described it using some cuber jargon in a way I hope explains WTF it even means, and used the notation it seems like you learned how to read so you can be sure. Main point there was that is described as TWO algorithms, but it's actually one. It's just there's a left side way and a right side.
    It's all like this, but I already wrote you a novel so I'll STFU now. I only learned this because my fiancée bought me a cube made for blind people for Christmas. I'm getting faster now, like 2:30-3:00 even when I screw up solving. My goal is sub 2 min. Because I'm gen X, and therefore old AF. Two minutes will be respectable enough for an old blind dude.

    I gotta say one more thing … I wasn't gonna but the first time I tried to twist my yellow corners, I messed it up. R' D' R D … two times or four, and then … move on to the next one yes? NO! Twist the top so the next corner you need to do is in the top front right and do it there. Because if you don't, you'll mess up everything. You Have No Freaking Idea how many times I screwed that up until I saw an explanation of what I did wrong! 😭 And for weeks afterward I still messed it up occasionally because I was trying to memorize Rs and Us and Bs and Fs … Was that a prime or not? And do I turn it this way or that way?
    What I had to do in the end was learn what I was trying to do. "Push that piece away, pull that toward me", that kind of thing. The notation eventually started making sense, it really did, but not until I started using cstimer (it's a dot net) just for the "give me a scramble" feature.
