Step 2 / 7

The white corners

Finish the whole white face and the first layer.

Goal of this step

The cross is done. Now complete the white face with the 4 white corners. When this step is finished, the whole bottom layer is solved: a full white face, and on each side a row of 3 stickers of the same color.

Turn U until the corner sits right above the spot where it belongs, then turn the whole cube (yellow stays on top) so that spot is front right. Depending on where its white sticker faces, use one of these three algorithms.

Cases and algorithms

Corner above its spot, white facing right.
Algorithm :R U R'
Corner above its spot, white facing front.
Algorithm :F' U' F
Corner above its spot, white facing up.
Algorithm :R U2 R' U' R U R'

Tips

  • A corner has three colors. Look for the one with white and the two colors of the centers it must sit between.
  • Turn U to bring the corner right above its spot, then turn the whole cube (yellow still on top) so that spot is front right, and pick the matching case.
  • If a twisted white corner is already on the bottom, first turn the whole cube to bring that corner to the bottom front right, then do R U R' to bring it back up, and try again.
