Right middle-layer edge insertion
Hold the cube with the solved first layer on the bottom. Match a top-layer edge to the front centre, then insert it into the middle layer on the right.

Left middle-layer edge insertion
Hold the cube with the solved first layer on the bottom. Match a top-layer edge to the front centre, then insert it into the middle layer on the left.

Sune
A common last-layer sequence for orienting the yellow corners.
RUR'URU2R'OLLIntermediate
Anti-Sune
The inverse Sune case for orienting the last-layer corners.
RU2R'U'RU'R'PLLAdvanced
T-permutation
Swap the two corners on the right side of the top layer. Also swap the left and right edges of the top layer. This preserves piece orientation and leaves the first two layers intact.

Niklas
Cycle three corners in the top layer while leaving all edges and lower layers in place. The three corners also twist, so use this sequence before orienting the corners.
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 colour 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.
