Second Layer Step by Step

Preparation​

Initial Assessment​

  1. Ensure first layer is complete
  2. Identify second layer edges
  3. Check top layer for matching edges
  4. Plan your approach

Solving Process​

Step 1: Edge Identification​

  1. Look for edges without yellow/white
  2. Match edge colors with centers
  3. Determine correct position
  4. Plan insertion algorithm

Step 2: Edge Insertion​

  1. Position edge above target slot
  2. Check orientation
  3. Apply appropriate algorithm
  4. Verify correct placement

Step 3: Problem Solving​

  1. Handle misoriented edges
  2. Fix wrong insertions
  3. Deal with stuck pieces
  4. Complete remaining edges

Advanced Steps​

Optimization​

  1. Look ahead while solving
  2. Minimize cube rotations
  3. Use empty slots efficiently
  4. Chain algorithms when possible
