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?

    A white corner that is in the bottom but wrong: hold it at the front-right and do R U R' U' once to lift it to the top. Then line it up and use the trick again. For the front-left spot, use the mirror: L' U' L U.

    What you learn here

    A corner in its place but twisted gets fixed by repeating R U R' U' (2 or 4 times). A corner in the wrong place at the bottom is lifted out with the same trick, then put in like any other corner. On the left side, the mirror trick L' U' L U does the same job.

    Algorithm: R U R' U' · L' U' L U
