Corner and edge both on top, the white sticker faces sideways, and the top colors match. Make the pair first, then insert it.
Goal
The corner and edge are both on top, and the corner's white sticker faces sideways. The two top colors match.
How to recognize it
The corner shows one color on top, and so does the edge. If they match, use this lesson. If they differ, go to the next one.
Then check two things: does the white sticker face front or right, and where is the edge?
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 two pieces cannot be joined right away. The first half of the algorithm makes them a pair. The second half is a case from .
For example, in U' R U R' U2 R U' R' the first half U' R U R' makes the pair. The second half U2 R U' R' is like .
A case with white facing right mirrors the case with white facing front. The mirror algorithm often starts with y'.
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.
