F2L Algorithms Page

There are 41 different variations
for solving the corner-edge pieces
in the F2L step. Many of these
cases are very similar to each
other (mirrors) and therefore use
similar solutions. The variations
are divided into groups according
to where the corner & edge pieces
are located in the Rubik's cube. I
added the best solving algorithms
for all the possible variations. Keep in mind that you want to use
these algorithms to understand how they work and to be able to
make an intuitive solving, rather than algorithmic solution.

The bolded algorithm is the one that I use in my solving. It

doesn't say it's the best algorithm, just that I found it best working
for me and my fingertricks, the other algorithms are also used by
speedcubers.

The sequence in () is the last part of the solving, when the edge-
corner pieces are being inserted to the block.
