Second Layer (Complete)

You are looking for edges in the Top Layer that have NO Yellow.

Top Layer Cases

The edge is in the top layer. You have matched the front color to the center (making a “T”).

Case 1: Moves to the Right

The top sticker matches the Right center.

The “Stuck” Cases

There are no good edges in the top layer, but the second layer is not done.

Case 3: Flipped in Place

The edge is in the right spot, but backwards.

  • Fix: We must replace it with a “dummy” yellow edge to pop it out.
  • Perform the Right Algorithm once:
U

  • Now the piece is in the top layer. Solve it correctly.

Case 4: Stuck in Wrong Slot

The edge is in the middle layer, but in the wrong home.

  • Fix: Same as above. Perform the Right Algorithm to pop it out.
  • Then move it to its correct home.
