Step 8

Stage 7 — the final edges

The last three pieces

Goal: A solved cube.

Only the top edges are left. Find the side that is already complete and hold it at the back.

Run R U' R U R U R U' R' U' R2. The three remaining edges cycle around.

Repeat once if they went the wrong way, then finish with a turn of the top layer to line everything up. That's the cube solved.

Watch it happen

Worth knowing

If all four sides look wrong, run the sequence once from anywhere — one side will line up and you can carry on.
