CLL: Headlights

Read more

Six cases with two yellow corners side by side and the other yellows facing one side.

Goal

The white layer on the bottom is done. The top is the Headlights 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 two yellows on the front. Look at the back first: a matching pair, opposite or neighboring colors. Then look at the left and right.

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

Headlights 3 is the familiar Headlights algorithm, with the top corners already in place.

Step 1 / 9

R2: Right face: turn 180°

The back has a matching pair. The left and right sides both have two neighboring colors.

Hold the two yellows on the front, with the yellow corners at the back.

Step 1 of 9: R2. Right face: turn 180°
