2 × 2 · STEP 3 / 3

Move the yellow corners home

Move the four top corners home to match the white layer. After this the cube is solved!

  1. You start with (input)Whole yellow face on top
  2. Result you will get after finishing this stepMove the yellow corners home

How to do it

  1. The top is yellow. Look at the top row of the 4 sides: find a side whose two top stickers match (two corners like a pair of headlights).
  2. Headlights: turn so that side is at the back, then do the formula once.
  3. No headlights anywhere: do the formula once from any side. Now there are headlights: carry on as above.
  4. Last, turn until the top layer matches the white layer. The 2x2 is solved!

Leave every other piece alone for now: the pictures show them in grey. Found one? Compare it with the cases below.

Which case do you have?

Before you compare and all through the formula: keep the front (the face marked FACING YOU in the pictures) turned towards you. A picture marked BACK, AWAY FROM YOU looks from behind: do not turn the cube, just tilt it to see the back.
