Solution 1
Suppose the existing net is folded so that the square immediately to the right of is on the bottom. Then only the top and left sides of the folded cube would be missing. , and could be added as the left side of the cube, while , , and could be added as the right side of the cube. and could not be added, as at most three faces can share a vertex. Therefore, 6 of the lettered faces could be added to the existing net.
Fold the four squares into the four sides of a cube. Then, there are six edges "open" (for lack of better term). For each open edge, we can add a square/side, so the answer is .
