Corner Placement Techniques

Basic Methods​

The Sexy Move Method​

  • Right, Up, Right Prime, Up Prime (R U R' U')
  • Used for corners in top layer
  • Can be repeated as needed

Direct Insertion​

  1. Position corner above target
  2. Align with correct slot
  3. Insert using basic algorithm

Common Situations​

Top Layer Corners​

  1. Locate correct corner
  2. Position above target slot
  3. Apply appropriate algorithm
  4. Check alignment

Bottom Layer Corners​

  1. Remove incorrectly placed corner
  2. Move to top layer
  3. Reinsert correctly

Advanced Techniques​

Efficient Corner Placement​

  • Minimize cube rotations
  • Use empty slots strategically
  • Look ahead while solving

Multiple Corner Solutions​

  1. Plan sequence of moves
  2. Consider piece interactions
  3. Choose optimal algorithms
