Send every top piece home with one formula, for all 21 cases.

  1. You start with (input)The whole top yellow, with one formula
  2. Result you will get after finishing this stepThe whole cube solved
21 / 21 cases

Every case of this step

Edges only (Ua, Ub, H, Z)

Headlights on all 4 sides: the 4 corners are right, only edges move.

Corners only (Aa, Ab, E)

All 4 edges are right; only corners move.

Adjacent corner swap (T, F, J, R, G)

Headlights on one side. Two neighbouring corners swap, with some edges.

Diagonal corner swap (V, Y, Na, Nb)

No side has headlights. Two diagonal corners swap.

Follow 3 steps

  1. 1. Hold the cube like this

    Yellow centre on top, the top all yellow.

    Top
    Bottom
  2. 2. Find these pieces

    Look at the sides of the top layer: any headlights, which edge already matches its centre.

    yellow – orange – green
    yellow – red – green
    yellow – orange – blue
    yellow – red – blue
  3. 3. Move the pieces home

    • Find the headlights and any finished side on the top layer.
    • Filter, then turn to match a picture.TOP VIEW
    • Tap the picture and turn along. Then the cube is solved.

More detail

  1. This replaces steps 7 and 8: one formula sends every top piece home. There are 21 pictures.
  2. Look at the headlights and whether corners or edges need to move. Use the filters on the right; a few pictures are left.
  3. Turn to match (headlights on the left, or the done side at the back), do the formula, then a last turn solves the cube.
  • No match? Turn and compare again. Every case matches a picture within 3 turns.
