Edge already in the slot

Goal

Put the pair in its slot when the edge is already in the front right slot and the corner is on top.

How to recognize it

The edge is in the middle layer, right in the front right slot. Look at its two colors:

• They match the front and right centers: the edge is correct.
• They are the other way round: the edge is flipped.

Then look at the corner's white sticker: front, right or up.

How to hold the cube

White cross on the bottom, the empty slot at the front right. Turn the top until the corner is at the top front right.

The main idea

The edge in the slot has to come out first. The first half takes it out and joins it with the corner. The second half is a case from F2L basics.

For example, in U' R U' R' U2 R U' R' the first half U' R U' R' lifts the edge out with the corner. The second half U2 R U' R' is like Pair lying on the right.

Check before moving on

The front right slot is done, and the cross and other slots are untouched.

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.
