How To Solve A Rubik S Cube Using Commutators 11 Steps

If the left edge “wants” to switch with the back edge and the front edge wants to switch with the right edge, apply RUUR’U’RU’R’. Otherwise, correctly place exactly one edge by rotating the face and put it closest to you. If the other three want to rotate clockwise, apply RUUR’U’RU’R’. If they want to move counterclockwise, apply RUR’URU’U’R'.

If all 4 corners are incorrectly oriented, look at the UFR corner. If it wants to rotate clockwise, apply FR’URU’R’URU’F’UR’U’RUR’U’RF’. If it wants to rotate counterclockwise, apply R’URU’R’URU’FUR’U’RUR’U’RF’. If 3 corners are incorrectly oriented, place the correct one in the UBR position. Look at the UFR corner. If it wants to move clockwise, apply FR’URU’R’URU’F’UR’U’RUR’U’RF’. If it wants to move counterclockwise, apply R’URU’R’URU’FUR’U’RUR’U’RF’. If 2 corners are incorrectly oriented and they are adjacent, put the incorrect ones in the UFR and UFL positions. Look at the UFR corner. If it wants to move clockwise, apply FR’URU’R’URU’F’UR’U’RUR’U’RF’ and if it wants to move counterclockwise, apply R’URU’R’URU’FUR’U’RUR’U’RF’. If 2 corners are incorrectly oriented and they are opposite each other, put the incorrect ones in the UFR and ULB positions. Apply L and then look at the UFR corner. If it wants to move clockwise, apply FR’URU’R’URU’F’UR’U’RUR’U’RF’ and if it wants to move counterclockwise, apply R’URU’R’URU’FUR’U’RUR’U’RF’. Then apply L'.
