4) Level 3 – align edges (the "yellow" cross)
In the fourth step, bring the 4 edge pieces into position around the top
"yellow" centre piece. First, turn it only so that it is correctly aligned ("yellow
facing up") - the correct position above the side centre pieces will follow later.
There are three possible cases, which can all be solved using the same
algorithms:
the only thing that differs is how often you need to do it. Align the
cube each time as illustrated!
(If the cross happens to appear by chance, you can of course skip this step.)
F – R – U – R' – U' – F'
F – R – U – R' – U' – F'
F – R – U – R' – U' – F'

1x
2x
3x
"yellow line“
"yellow corner“
"yellow dot“
… repeat once more if necessary…
5) Level 3 – arrange edges
Here there are two possible ways of moving the edge pieces into the
correct position above the side centre pieces.
In the bottom case, the same algorithm as above must be carried out once,
then the cube brought into position as for the swapping over corners, and then
the algorithm repeated.
swap over corner
swap opposite
edge pieces
R – U – R' – U – R – 2U – R' – U
R – U – R' – U – R – 2U – R' – U

… in between hold the cube as illustrated above…
6) Level 3 – arrange corners
In the sixth step, bring the corner pieces into position, the alignment is not
important at this stage.
Align the cube with one correct corner facing to the front right and keep
it in this position for all phases of the algorithm.
U – R – U' – L' – U – R' – U' – L

… repeat until all corner pieces are in position…
7) Level 3 – solve corners
Finally, the corner pieces are aligned correctly.
Align the cube with the corner which needs to be solved to the front right.
When you have solved the corner,
turn just the top side (
U'
)
so that the
next corner which needs to be solved is located to the front right.
The rest of the cube must be stay like this
- in between everything will
look messy and jumbled but will come together at the end!
R' – D' – R – D

… repeat until the corner is solved,
then
U’
and repeat with the next corner...
Done!
