Chapter 1: Learn the moves · Level 2 of 20

Level 2: L, D, B and double moves

Goal: Learn the other three faces and the double move, like R2. 5 tasks · ★★★ = fewest moves.

Task 1 of 5

Press L: the left side turns towards you, so its top comes to the front.

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?

    L, D and B are clockwise as seen from the left, the bottom and the back. From the front, L turns the left side towards you and D turns the bottom row to the right.

    What you learn here

    L turns the left side, D the bottom layer and B the back. Because you are looking at those faces from the other side, L moves the opposite way to R, and D the opposite way to U. A 2 after the letter means a half turn: R2 is R twice, and it counts as one move.

    Chapter 1 — Learn the moves: Every move has a letter. Learn U, D, L, R, F and B, the prime (') and the double (2), and meet the three kinds of pieces.
