► SUMMARY OF STEPS
1. Put the corner and edge in the top layer. (if they are touching, you might have a special case: see 4:37)
2. Is the white sticker is facing up?
- White sticker NOT facing up:
3. Place the corner above the slot, turn the top so you can still see the white sticker.
4. If the top colors for each piece is the same, turn the corner away and move the edge beside the corner. If they don't match, move the edge across from the corner.
5. Insert the pair.
- White sticker facing up:
3. Match the edge piece to its center.
4. Turn edge away and place the corner on top of the edge.
5. Insert the pair.

Hey Dylan! I have been cubing for four years. Due to my ADHD and autism I tend to process things slower, so I often need slower explanations. I revisited this video after about 3 years, a bit skeptical because of how short it was. I have been a long time Petrus user but I just haven’t gotten fast enough and still average 30-40 seconds. I tried this tutorial when I was 12 after cubing for about a year and averaging about a minute and 15 seconds. I had a very hard time understanding since it was fast and I had difficulty retaining the information. Now I’m 15 years old and revisited this video. I cannot thank you enough for this video. I’m learning CFOP and mastered 2 look OLL and 1 look PLL. I am very thankful for this video now that I understand it. You also taught me how to solve the 5x5 when I was 11. Thank you for all that you do. Your cubing tutorials are amazing. Short, sweet, and straight to the point. Usually I need slower videos, but all the slow ones here are poor quality. However this one here: As I said, short,sweet, and straight to the point. No BS. Love your stuff, dude! Hello from the USA! -Emma T.

If the edge and corner are together then I would do a different way Not do algorithms Not follow the rules of this video But R U L moves are the solution for example when you got an f2l pair that almost look like an f2l connected pair but the edge is flipped then do U y L prime U2 L y prime U prime (R U R prime) thats the algorithm try it on a solved cube

I actually realized how different cubes moves with that algorithms and what I am propably doing wrong and then it just clicked. And as someone mentioned, give it a time, take breakes and dont think about it, when you come back to it, it will be much more clear. And of course thanks for awesome tutorial :)

I felt the same. Something that might help is just looking at the cube after the cross. Literally move pieces around to see how it affects other pieces and sides, basically just play around with it. That's what I'm doing and trying to get to where he is without help. It makes you think and also will help you learn the cube.

Just an encouragement to anyone who's watching the video for the first time and is feeling overwhelmed by F2L. Keep working at it and come back in a little while to watch this again after giving your brain a chance to process it (in active practice, as you go about your day, as you sleep, etc). It will make more sense with time and practice!

[@raghunath.reddy_]

*To Beginners, this might seem all confusing in the beginning. But the way to learn is....* 1) Solve the cross first. Don't try to understand or remember all instructions at once. Learn one case and one step at a time. 2) Choose one slot (corner & edge) to solve first and then skip to the part of the video that matches your particular slot's case (ex: White to side & Color Match or White to side & color does not match etc) and then solve that particular slot you chose using the video instructions. 3) After it is solved then choose the next slot and skip to the part of the video that matches your particular slot's case and then solve that slot. 4) Continue doing this multiple times as you completely solve both layers (F2L) and try to remember what you are doing to solve each case. 5) Repeat this for many times with the help of the video's instructions. And as you get to remember the instructions. 5) Then practice solving it on your own. Always refer back to the Video when you are in doubt. Trust Me, you can master F2L in a few hours if you understand & remember what to do for each case including the special cases. *The key is to NOT GIVE UP.*

You genuinely have the best rubik's cube tutorials imo.

[@locipro9937]

first time watching this video was hell. I watched it like 3 times and didn't understand a single thing. After 1 hour of intuitivily doing it, i kind of got the hang of it! If you understand NOTHING from this video, dont worry. Just keep trying. I believe in you all. Its simple when you get used to it. It's also the most important step in solving the cube. goodluck everyone

[@ashlingwd6071]

the exact same thing happened to me. I can now do it intuitively, but im ver very slow like 1 min per f2l pair!

[@abdulwadood7279]

Bro u explain very good. I kept taking classes of solving cube from other channels but you explain very 👍. My friend suggested me to watch this video and I appreciate you and him

[@AveryHyena]

It really helped me to realize that putting in a "matching" pair (with colors on the same side) requires inverse sexy move (eg. U R U' R') and pairs that don't match uses normal sexy move (L' U L) And it helped me get faster by remembering I always need to look at the white face, and then turn it away before inserting the pair

[@Sigffrid]

Litterally impressed. I have been fighting for months trying to solve f2l with another tutorial, withought great result. And stumbled on this one and cracked my first full f2l in, yeah, 5-6 min, and can now solve them every time. It's like seeing the Matrix code. Thanks mate, this is one of the most efficient tutorials I've ever watched, and it put an end to months of frustration.

Just recently started cubing because im old and need to exercise my brain to prevent memory loss. Now im hooked and bought multiple cubes, the technical aspect of this hobby is also fascinating. As an older dude i have many hobbies but cubing is one of the most engaging. Thanks for this video. 👍🏼

[@waterfoker8558]

Excellent. The key concepts for beginners are: 1) keep the corner and edge piece separate, that way you can manuever them to fit together correctly and slot it into the cross. 2) for the last slotting make sure you don't mess up the other colors, so position it using the unsolved slot.

[@fcamel]

Thanks! It tooke me a while, but I finally figure out how it works! The breakdown is reall helpful.

[@nickw3943]

I watched this two days ago and was lost, but the story ends well! I'm brand new to cubing and was trying to get under a minute with beginner method and just cracked 58 seconds with a lucky easy solve. I just didn't not understand this video so went searching for others. I still didn't get it. So I went back to the cube and tried to just work it out for myself. After some solo wins I came back to this video and with some more time with my cube trying all this out I finally understand what everyone's been saying about F2L. Today I feel like the twins from Seven Ancient Wonders finally understanding a dead language. Thank you for making this video! It does make sense. I really appreciate your slow and careful descriptions.

[@anthonycarella1779]

This is actually a really good tutorial. Of course, I'm solving my cube slower than I normally do. But I know that this is an investment and it will eventually pay off. Thanks for making this video!

[@crasher_88]

Thank you so much! My timings have improved significantly. To those out there who still doesn’t get it, don’t worry, I didn’t too. The first two times I watched this video, I couldn’t understand anything that he was doing. However, the third time I watched the video, I started to understand how to do F2L. Whenever you learn F2L, you won’t master it straight away so don’t give up!

[@oheyambrr]

THANK YOU. I kept getting stuck in the case you address around 2:30 and the videos I kept watching just never really addressed how to solve it if the back corners are already solved! 🙌🏼

[@R_a_X]

I had originally learned the beginner's method in college and eventually forgot it. I picked it up some years later but forgot again. I recently relearned everything in about an hour this time (CRAZY how the muscle memory was still there) and now find myself wanting to learn CFOP to improve my solves. I was learning F2L on my own without algos and it was taking me forever. I just ran across this and I can't stress just how USEFUL your explanations are! I can't wait to put them into practice. Thank you.

[@cassiourutube]

Best F2L video by far. If you don't understand this video, you just doesn't have enough time solving cubes yet. Pick your cube, expend more time with it, when you come back, this video will be clear like crystal, guaranteed.

Well F2L Is A Pretty Complicated Concept But Believe Me The Best Place To Learn It Is This Video, Others Vids will not explain anything intuitively but just Memorize as Algorithms. You Just Have To Keep Trying And Practicing As It Is A Really Harf Concept To Grasp, What I Used To Do When Learning F2L Is Scramble The Cube, Solve Cross And Then Choose any one F2L Pair, Find The Corresponding Pieces And Get To The Part In The Video Where That Particular Case Is Explained, Then Watch A Bit, Pause, Do That Step, Watch A Bit More, Proceed like that

We all learn differently, don't despair. Try different ways to take in the information. I was struggling with the terminology and the speed of some of these videos, but I turned off the sound and was able to follow the moves by eye and I was able to work with the moves in real time as I wasn't trying to decode and understand and make the moves. Happy days! I managed to complete the cube successfully.
