TINYCubeStage 3 — the middle layer
Two layers done
Goal: The bottom two layers complete, with only the yellow layer left.
Turn the cube over in your mind: white stays on the bottom, yellow is on top. The four edges that still need placing are the ones with no yellow sticker.
Find one in the top layer and turn the top until its front colour matches the centre below it — you will see an upside-down T.
Now look at the colour on the top of that piece. If it matches the centre to the right, use the right-hand sequence. If it matches the centre to the left, use the left-hand one.
If an edge is already in the middle layer but wrong, run the right-hand sequence once with that slot at the front-right to kick it out, then place it properly.

Worth knowing
- These two sequences are mirror images. Learn one properly and the other will follow.
