More detail
- F2L builds layers 1 and 2 together: each time a pair, one white corner and the middle edge of the same colours, goes into a slot. Four slots and both layers are done.
- Pick an unfinished slot and turn the whole cube (y) so it sits front right. The pictures use the green–orange slot.
- Turn until the corner sits right above the slot (layer 3, front right).
- This step: the corner’s white sticker faces front or right. See where the edge is on top and which colour faces up, then find the matching picture.
- White on top? See step 3. A piece stuck in a slot? See step 4.
- The four "already lined up" pictures are the four ways to insert a pair. Every other picture ends with one of them.
- No need to memorise yet: match, turn along, and your hands will learn.
