The corner and edge are both in the front right slot, but wrong. Lift the pair to the top, then put it back correctly.
Goal
Fix the front right slot when both the corner and the edge are already in it, but in the wrong way.
How to recognize it
The corner is in the bottom layer and the edge in the middle layer, both in the front right slot. Check two things:
- The corner's white sticker: down, front or right.
- The edge: correct or flipped.
If white faces down and the edge is correct, the slot is already done.
How to hold the cube
White cross on the bottom, the slot at the front right.
The main idea
Every algorithm starts with R U' R' or R U R' to lift the whole pair to the top. The rest is a case from the earlier lessons.
A piece stuck in another slot
A piece of the pair may be stuck in another slot. Hold that slot at the front right and do R U R' to lift it to the top. Then solve as in the earlier lessons.
Final F2L check
The bottom is all white. The two lower rows of each side match the center. Only the top layer is left.
Common mistakes
- Mixing up a white sticker facing front with one facing right. Look at the corner before you start.
- Skipping the
U at the start of an algorithm. It puts the pieces where the algorithm expects them.
- Doing
y' and forgetting that the slot is now at the back right.
- Turning
D and knocking the cross out of line.
