TINYCubeStage 4 — the yellow cross
Flip the top edges
Goal: A yellow cross on the top face. The side colours don't have to match yet.
Look at the yellow stickers on the top face. You will see one of three patterns: a single dot, a line of three, or an L shape (sometimes called a hook).
Hold the cube so a line runs left to right, or so an L points to the back-left, then run F R U R' U' F'.
From a dot you will get an L or a line, from a line or an L you will get the cross. Repeat the sequence until the cross appears — never more than three times.

Other ways to do this step
Different algorithms for the same job. Try each and keep the one your hands like.
F U R U' R' F'
F U R U' R' F'
The same sequence played backwards. Both flip the top edges, so use whichever your hands remember.
Worth knowing
- Only the yellow stickers facing up matter here. Ignore the sides completely.
Previous: Stage 3 — the middle layer
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.
