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

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

Sune
A common sequence for orienting the yellow corners on the last layer.
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 right-hand corners of the top layer and swap the top-left and top-right edges. This preserves last-layer orientation and the first two layers.

Niklas
Cycle three top corners while keeping all edges and the lower layers in place. The corners that move 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 practising
Learn an algorithm
Read the sequence aloud, break it into short triggers and repeat it slowly. Keep the same colour on top and the same face towards you until the turns feel automatic.
Check the notation
A prime mark means anticlockwise and a 2 means a half-turn. Visit the notation reference whenever a move looks unfamiliar.
