Chapter 6: Finish the cube · Level 18 of 20

Level 18: Top edges: every case

Goal: Finish the cube when the bar is on another side, or when no edge is right yet. 3 tasks · ★★★ = fewest moves.

Task 1 of 3

The bar is on the left. Turn the whole cube with y so it is at the back, then do the algorithm.

Your cube, unfolded

Goal

Your moves

Algorithm

    Keyboard: U D L R F B turn a face, with Shift for the prime (U'). Y turns the whole cube. Backspace undoes.

    💡 Need a hint?

    Bar on another side: turn the whole cube (y) until the bar is at the back. No bar at all: do the algorithm once from any side — now one edge is right — then finish.

    What you learn here

    This is the last step of the method. If no top edge is in its place, one go of the algorithm always fixes one, and then the bar shows you how to hold the cube. Well done: you can now solve the whole cube!
