Here is what the first step will accomplish: a complete set of centers, leaving only the outside edges and corners.


We will be breaking this into three sub-steps: two opposite centers, next two adjacent centers, then the last two centers which will also be adjacent. You can solve opposite centers, but it's not recommended as its difficult to see both layers you're working on at once. One idea is to pick a color that stands out very clearly to you among the other colors. This will help you find pieces with less struggle.

To start, you should know that the center on this cube is comprised of 4 1x4 'strips'. The 7x7 would have 5 1x5 strips. So generically speaking, you will have a box in the middle with size (n-2) x (n-2) where n is the size of the cube, and each box will be comprised of a number of these strips.


Centers Step One: Solve Opposite Centers
Centers Step Two: Solve Adjacent Centers
Centers Step Three: Solve Final Two Centers
Solution Step Two: Solve Edge Groups
Solution Step Three: Solve as a 3x3
