CLL: Reverse fish

Read more

Six cases with one yellow corner, the front right yellow facing right.

Goal

The white layer on the bottom is done. The top is the Reverse fish shape. One algorithm solves the whole top layer.

How to recognize it

Only compare top-layer stickers with each other, never with the bottom layer. Words used here:

  • Front sticker (or left, right, back): the non-yellow top sticker on that side. On a side with two non-yellow stickers, call them front and rear (or left and right).
  • Matching pair: a side's two top stickers have the same color.
  • Opposite colors: red and orange, green and blue. Two different colors that are not opposite are neighboring colors.

Put the yellow corner at the front left. Compare the left sticker with the back sticker, the right sticker and the front side's right sticker. One always matches and one is always opposite.

How to hold the cube

White on the bottom. Every case in this lesson uses the same grip, shown under the controls. The player adds a U at the start or end when needed.

The main idea

The Reverse fish mirrors the Fish. Reverse fish 1 uses the same Reverse fish algorithm as the Ortega OLL lesson.

Step 1 / 8

U: Top face: turn 90°, front face goes left

The left sticker matches the back sticker and is opposite the front side's right sticker.

Hold the yellow corner at the front left, with the front right yellow facing right.

Step 1 of 8: U. Top face: turn 90°, front face goes left
