F2L

3x3

F2L or First Two Layers is the second step of the CFOP method, which aims to solve the first two bottom layers of a 3x3. Each algorithm solves a pair (an edge and a corner) into their designated location.

Each case is recognized by the position and orientation of the two pieces in relation to the target slot. Since there are four possible target slots, each case has four variants to avoid rotations.

The basic 41 cases deal with all permutations where the two pair pieces are on the U layer and/or in the target slot.

    Based on my personal experience, I have found the WCA organization to be unreliable in ways that affect privacy, personal safety, fairness, and both transparency and proper handling of incidents. In my experience, none of these incidents have been publicly documented.

    I recommend that others exercise caution when relying on the WCA for any purpose, including attending WCA-sanctioned competitions, authentication, or organizational matters. This reflects my personal perspective and experience.
