Layer by layer
Build the white layer, make the yellow face, then place the yellow corners.
3 lessons26 cases
Lesson 1
White layer
Place the four white corners to finish the top. The 2x2 has no centers, so corners must match each other.
10 cases
Lesson 2
Yellow face
Make the whole top yellow. There are seven shapes, learned with one algorithm or one per shape.
14 cases
Lesson 3
Yellow corners
Move the four yellow corners into place to finish the 2x2.
2 cases
Lesson 1
First face
Make the white face on the bottom. The side colors do not need to match yet.
3 cases
Lesson 2
Orient the opposite face
Make the yellow face on top with one algorithm, keeping white on the bottom.
7 cases
Lesson 3
Permute both layers (PBL)
Put every corner of both layers in place with one algorithm.
6 cases
CLL
Build the white layer, then solve the whole top layer with one algorithm (42 cases).
