Step 2 of 4
F2L (first two layers)
Finish the first two layers by placing together, for each of the four slots, the white corner and the edge that goes above it. Keep the white cross at the bottom; for each pair, turn the whole cube so its slot is at the front right: its corner shows white and the colours of the front and right centres, its edge these two colours. Find where both pieces are and apply the matching case. A piece stuck in another slot is first taken out to the top by inserting any top piece in its place.
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.
