TINYCubeStage 2 — the white corners
Finish the whole first layer
Goal: The entire bottom layer solved: white face complete and the first row of every side matching its centre.
Now find a corner with a white sticker in the top layer. Its three colours tell you where it belongs — for example white, green and red goes between the green and red centres.
Turn the top layer until that corner is directly above the gap it belongs in.
Then repeat R U R' U' (holding the cube so the gap is at the bottom-right of the front face) until the corner drops in the right way up. It takes one, three or five goes.
If a white corner is stuck in the bottom layer the wrong way round, do R U R' U' once to pop it out into the top layer, then place it properly.
Watch it happen
R U R' U': the corner insert
R U R' U'
Repeat it until the corner sits white-side-down. Six repeats bring the cube back to where it started, so you can never break anything.
Other ways to do this step
Different algorithms for the same job. Try each and keep the one your hands like.
Gap at the front-left: L' U' L U
L' U' L U
The same trick with your left hand. Hold the gap at the bottom-left of the front face and repeat it the same way.
Worth knowing
- Only ever use this sequence with the target gap at the front-right. Turning the whole cube to reach another gap is fine — turning the cube mid-sequence is not.
Previous: Stage 1 — the white cross
Swipe on the cube to turn the top, bottom, left or right. Swipe the pad sideways to turn the back or front. Two fingers turn the whole cube.
Drag on the cube to turn the top, bottom, left or right, and use the buttons beside it for the front and back. Shift-drag turns the whole cube. Keys 1–6 turn U D L R F B; hold Shift to turn the other way.
