Middle layer: Solve the Second Layer Edges

ACTION 1
Choose a FRONT face. Rotate the UP (U) face to create a vertical line matching one of the pictures below. If you can’t match one of these pictures, pick another FRONT face until you can match one of the pictures.

IF YOU CAN'T MAKE A VERTICAL LINE TO MATCH A PICTURE ABOVE, FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS IN THE TIP BELOW.

You will need to swap an edge from the UP (U) face with an edge already in the middle layer.

ACTION 2  Moving LEFT
If you’re moving the edge piece to the left, follow these moves:

This algorithm places the edge piece next to its correct corner piece.

Now follow these moves.

This algorithm brings the edge piece to the correct position in the middle layer.

OR ACTION 2  Moving Right
If you’re moving the edge piece to the right, follow these moves:

This algorithm places the edge piece next to its correct corner piece.

Now follow these moves.

This algorithm brings the edge piece to the correct position in the middle layer.

ACTION 3
Continue Actions 1-2 on the previous page until all MIDDLE layer pieces are in the correct positions.
