Right middle-edge insert
With the first layer solved below, match a top edge to the front center and insert it into the middle layer on the right.

Left middle-edge insert
With the first layer solved below, match a top edge to the front center and insert it into the middle layer on the left.

Sune
A common last-layer orientation sequence used to orient yellow corners.
RUR'URU2R'OLLIntermediate
Anti-Sune
The inverse Sune case for orienting the last-layer corners.

T-permutation
Swap the two top corners on the right and the top left/right edges while preserving orientation and the first two layers.

Niklas
Cycle three top corners while leaving all edges and lower layers in place. The moved corners also twist; use this before corner orientation.
RU'L'UR'U'LUFundamentalsBeginner
Sexy move
A useful four-move sequence for learning rhythm, triggers, and corner movement.
RUR'U'No algorithms match that search. Try “Sune”, “PLL”, or a move such as R U.
Keep practicing
Learn an algorithm
Read the sequence aloud, divide it into small triggers, and repeat it slowly. Keep the same color on top and the same face toward you until the movement feels automatic.
Check the notation
A prime mark means counter-clockwise and a 2 means a half-turn. Visit the notation reference whenever a move looks unfamiliar.
