Step 5 of 7
Yellow face orientation
Make the whole top face yellow by twisting the four corners in place, without breaking the yellow cross or the first two layers. A single algorithm is enough: repeat it, following the case you get, until the top is fully yellow. The sides of the last layer will be placed afterwards.
The basic situations
Hold the cube as the hint says, then apply the formula. In the app, every formula is animated on a virtual cube.
Fish (Sune)
Only one top corner is yellow: turn U to put it at the front left. The front-right corner shows its yellow towards you.
R U R' U R U2 R'→ piece in placeReverse fish (Antisune)
Only one top corner is yellow: turn U to put it at the front left. The front-right corner shows its yellow on the right face.
R U R' U R U2 R'→ Fish (Sune)H
No top corner is yellow. Turn U until the left face and the right face each show two yellows at the top.
R U R' U R U2 R'→ Fish (Sune)Pi
No top corner is yellow. Turn U until the left face shows two yellows side by side at the top.
R U R' U R U2 R'→ Fish (Sune)Headlights (U)
Two neighbouring top corners are yellow: turn U to put them at the back. The two front corners show their yellow towards you.
R U R' U R U2 R'→ Reverse fish (Antisune)T
Two neighbouring top corners are yellow: turn U to put them on the right. The front-left corner shows its yellow towards you.
R U R' U R U2 R'→ Reverse fish (Antisune)Bowtie (L)
Two opposite top corners are yellow: turn U to put them at the back left and front right, with the yellow of the front-left corner facing you.
