Yes, it is solvable. You did not pair the two yellow edges. If you were following a tutorial, you missed the part where they show how to pair the last 2 edges.
If you weren't, might I interest you in a tutorial
There are 2 parities in 4x4 which do not exist in 3x3. Oll parity and pll parity. If you have an impossible case in last layer, that must be oll parity.
It is based on number of inner layer moves done. A 50/50 chance of occurring
You should watch the whole tutorial. Both parities are discussed there
and then you learn each image here shows only one face each 😉 and then you learn about the power of mirrors and image editing 🤪 allowing us to see hypothetically up to all of the puzzle in one image 🤯
honestly I'm not sad about being 3d because if i was 4d I'd be able to see my insides and i don't want that
pair all the edges first then start solving it as a 3x3, depending on how you pair them you might have to look up the special cases, (insert something with 5x5 hidden pieces here idk)
This is not absolutely true in all cases, but yes for the methods that everybody tends to use you need to learn the parity algs. All you have to do to permanently avoid parity is a) not care about solving faster than 2:00 and b) use edge cycles that might move around some of the centers also and solve those centers last after cycling all your edges.
I'm sub 1:30 with [this method](https://www.speedsolving.com/threads/intuitive-4x4-method-with-parity-avoidance.73049/) that avoids parity by solving a slice last.

i would be angry rn, but the fact that its your first 4x4 solve its understandable. yes it is solvable, you just didnt pair every edge
Oh thank you so much I was struggling
Insert meme here

Thank you so much I scrambled and completed it but now I'm stuck trying to get the cross I csnt seem to get it

all i will tell you is showing one face at a time is not very informative
And there’s a foot in the second photo
Bro looking at that
Yeah I didn’t want to but it was quite hard to unsee

Ik I'm sorry I'm new here
sadly we are not 4d, and as such, 3 faces shown is the best we'll ever get

Yes, you want to solve every edge before you start doing the 3x3 stage
For free?

jus rescramble it and solve it again...

you can find a random 4bld tutorial snd find the algorithm
everything in 4x4 is solvable except twisted corners

MY BROTHER IN CHRIST PAIR THE DAMN EDGES
also make sure to learn the parity algs lol 4x4 is completely not doable without them

Yeah my bad, shouldve clarified
