- When people ask me how to learn F2L, I always tell them to learn it intuitively. But sometimes they don't find efficient solutions, or a solution at all. This video explains how I understand every F2L case intuitively.

![F2L - All 42 Cases [Intuitive Explanation]](/img/tr.png)
--- Both on the same layer ---
1.) 1:25 Simple pair (Same colours on top)
2.) 2:15 Simple pair (Opposite colours on top)
3.) 2:53 Hide corner (Same/opposite colours on top, separated)
4.) 6:49 Hide edge (White on top of corner, separated)
5.) 8:26 Separate by hiding edge, moving unsolved slot (Incorrectly paired, same colour on top)
6.) 10:15 Separate by inserting corner into slot temporarily, do case 8 (Incorrectly paired, same colour on the sides)
--- Corner in slot ---
7.) 11:20 Face the side of edge the same colour as the side of corner, move edge away, move corner up, move edge towards slot, pair (White facing bottom)
8.) 12:23 Face the side of edge on the same side as the non-white side of the corner, hide edge, pair (White on side of corner, other side of corner is the same colour to the colour top of edge)
9.) 12:51 Face the side of edge on the same side as the white side of the corner, hide edge, move corner opposite from the edge, pair (White on side of corner, other side of corner is the opposite colour to the colour top of edge)
--- Edge in slot ---
10.) 13:40 Remove pair (Already paired)
11.) 13:49 Replace edge with corner, do case 8 (Incorrectly paired, white on top of the corner)
12.) 14:11 Hide corner (Same colours on the sides)
13.) 14:41 You can do the same with case 12, it's just mirrored.
14.) 15:03 Move the non-white side of the corner opposite to the same colour of the edge, hide corner (Opposite colours on the sides)
--- Both in slot ---
15.) 15:59 Separate, do case 3 or 4 (Incorrectly orientated edge/corner/both)
Thanks !
Thank u so much brooooo
This is actually intuitive so no need of algorithms
.
John Xu thankkksss!!
This was helpful. I tried to learn algs, then started doing it intuitively which worked better. I found that I now needed to learn more in order to improve. Once you have an understanding of the basic mechanics a video like this is really useful.
I know this comment is 2 years old but I did intuitively at first because learning the algs for this, OLL and PLL was just to much. Once I got basic OLL and PLL down Ive been looking into refining this stage. I looked at some algs but this was far more effective use of my time.
@@dr.mailmanI know your reply is 2 years late but you should learn some algorithms for f2l, they are all short and easy to learn, should only take a few days
Thanks for making this F2L tutorial. My intuitive F2L solving is straight trash. It's been over a year and I still cant do the basic corner matching to edge consistently. So recently I began studying the F2L algorithms and my speed has improved. I will study this video and attempt to learn intuitive F2L again. Have a good day.
Sorry to hear that. I've gotten to the point where i don't even pair the same color pieces. I don't go for speed i go for learning and understanding. For instance: if you have the blue/red/white corner, and the green/orange edge. Green is the same as blue, and orange is the same as red, because of the rule of opposites. If you have the b/r/w corner, and the blue/orange, or green/red edge it's the opposite. So Because the corner is blue/red, with the blue orange edge, the blue will match with the orange and the red with the blue, because it's on the other edge of the blue center. The same with the green red. Because it on the other edge of the red center.
I remember sitting down and spending hours to learn f2l by myself
This is me now 😭😭😭 my average is 1min30 🤮 one minute of it is f2l
DilanRodriguez learn 4LLL if you haven’t already. It’s not that many algs and with it, you should be able to massively improve the time of your last layer
@@DJD10113 bro don't be sad. I also suffered from this but after learning Advanced cross, F2L, 2-Look OLL and about 17 of 21 cases of PLL my average dropped from 1 min 10 sec to 26 sec. Be patient I took 3 month to reach 26 sec my pb is 16.96 I did a full step solve and got it (with my favourite PLL J perm). Stay focused and concentrate on what you are learning. Don't pressurise yourself like I did. Focused on things you need to give more time than cubing you will get there eventually.
Edit- This was 3 months ago now I avg 16-17s my pb is 11.17.
Now I make a Efficient cross with advanced f2l and 2 look last layer (Full OLL + Full PLL)
This is me right now -,-
DilanRodriguez, I didn’t start learning anything CFOP related until I averaged 1 minute. It’s not really necessary to worry about CFOP until then. I learned beginner f2l first and with that I was sub 45. I didn’t even learn any algs until then. I avg. about 30 rn but I’m not sure how good my strategy was cus I’ve been cubing about 9 months and am a noob.
8:30 for weird cases in top layer
11:20 for cases in bottom/top
I got confused with his reds and oranges. They are the same for me lol
Saaame
Me too
Lol i also noticed 😂
Yes
This is sooooooooooooooooooooooooo fake
I actually learned f2l by myself by just sitting down and experimenting different solutions, and it worked! ( It only took me one week but I was very frustrated whenever I forgot the solution I came up with).
OMG thank you so much lazermonkey!! You do not know how much this helps slower cubers!
You don't realise how much you've helped this old cuber! Cheers.
At 6:30 you can be slot-agnostic. It does not require caution whenever you build your pair using u2. The pair you take out stays together or at the most ist still a three move insert.
I noticed in many cases we can do one fewer move by inserting with sledgehammer, when the corner is white-side up and you have to hide the edge piece, sledgehammer flows nicely after we match the pieces, with e.g. L2 F' L' F whereas a normal insertion would be L T' L T L'.
I really liked the "d" move option in the 16:00 case, I didn't know that. Thanks, Carlos
Easiest way is R U2 R’ (U) R U2 R’
your lighting is making red and orange look weird sometimes
I agree, I couldn't tell the difference unless I could see both colours on the screen
This video was very helpful! Now I just need to watch it many more times and practice. I do thank everyone for the support.
You should also include the many possibilities of not like color pairs. Learning them can be a huge time saver. For instance matching up the blue/red/white corner with the green/red edge. They are also intuitive, as they are the exact same moves, the only difference is that you continually move the bottom, to preserve the corners, while slotting in the the middle edges. It's alot more fun and really ups your level of understanding for the cube. My current method is the middle layer scramble, i don't know if it's actually a method, i'm sure someone has done it, but it's the most fun one i have done, and i've never seen a video of it. It's not the best and it certainly won't be breaking any records,but when you are bored you find something different to do, there are two ways you can do it. You can either seperate the cube, or learn a lot of algorithms. I don't like that, so i just seperate the cube. Basically how it works. Is you place all of the white pieces on the white face, doesn't need to be solved, they just need to be their, you then solve the middle layer. Which will obviously seperate all the yellow pieces. Then you treat both the bottom and top layer as a 3rd layer solve. It's really slow, but it's different and for a beginner if you struggle with the last layer having to do it twice, will get you there.
And also the way you explained putting in the corner pieces while preserving the edges but just moving the bottom layer. I think you're describing "keyhole"which is just a method to put in the corners and edges, even if they're not paired with the same color pieces, but going into the correct places. J perm also has many good videos about it.
11:20 The algorythm everyone uses with the begginer method! I view it from a new perspective now!
This is a great idea for a vid... helpful af for people learning. In retrospect its kind of a mindblower that nobody has done this yet...
Such an obviously necessary vid thats way overdue... nice job!!!
super great video. little comment. you say hide the corner for lots of soves, but sometimes it 'do a U'(twist the top) and then.. hide the corner', other times its simply 'hide the corner'. Best f2l intuitve video i've found so far!
Thank you so much LaZer0MonKey! This brought a whole new light on my f2l!
Thanks for this video, someone finally came with what i needed!
16:55 For that annoying case instead of doing R U' like phillip did just do R U R' U' and then you'll get the case at 9:16 which is much much easier and much much faster than the case you'll get 17:03. Hope this helps!
what you're giving is infact slower sir
@@gustavopinedaxd nope, it's a faster one alright, it can be done quickly without regripping, if your slower at that it just means you need to drill it more, not my fault. Either that or go use your own alg
@@NishanthSwaminathan no it is definitely slower everyone who's fast uses what's showed on this video
notes to self (don't mind these, just ones I'm working on :p):
3:22 hide in back, no F move
4:15 use faster one
4:50 don't use L moves
7:00 hide in back
7:30 same thing
7:40 same thing
8:05 same thing
8:25 use this one
9:00 similar
9:20 HIDE EDGES
9:55 similar
10:15 use
10:55 mirror
12:25 similar concept from last case
12:45 mirror
12:52, weird angle :p
13:20
13:55
14:15
14:45 mirror
15:10
15:35 mirror
Well explained!!.. I'm just learning F2L but I think I am in a right place..THANK YOU!!
Thank you! Great vid, I really needed a walkthrough for what I'm doing during f2l. Do you have any videos to help with last layer??

I am learning 2FL I noticed I scrambled the cube by making 3rd or 4th 2FL. After practice practice I didnot look to the video tutorial, but look to the cube and visionised it. Now I get somewhere and fixed the 4th 2FL without breaking the other ones. First 2 layers were fixed. Now it is time to watch this video, Thx for making so many tutorials
Great video! Thanks you
I’m watching this over and over. helpful!
This is the best F2L video I found. Thanks alot !!
13:42 that is not the best way. Doing U' (R' F R F') R U' R' is faster because it gets rid of rotations and regrips.
Valtteri Hakio but it isnt really intuitive
it depends on the rotation and where the corner is located
Thanks, I am going to start using this now
Whatever, I already use different algs than half of these that are better or the same.
It is better for EO..not intuitive, but worth learning...
Good for people trying to improve on F2L cases.
19:16 Well, that is sexy
4:27 just blew my mind.... I’ve been doing that case wrong for so long
Same lol
Congratulations on 20K!
I was going to force myself to learn all of the f2l Algs (I've only learnt 7 or 8) but this video is so much better
13:14 he should use sledgehammer to pair them.....
no algorithms. examples. EXACTLY WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR thx
THis is GREAT ! THank you! I have been giving myself a headache for weeks looking at videos that say "All 2fl is easy just ... Ru'RRu'uRRUU'RU'R'Uuu'uUr'r'ruruR'Rr'rRu'UU'r' 'blah blah blah "
Hi Phillip! I am super excited because I am going to Shaker Spring 2018!!!! I’m super excited!
If the white sticker is facing up and tthe edge is in the slot.. If the stickers of the pair dos not match then u can just do a u move to move the corner away and then do a sledge hammer thought the slot instead of triple sexy :)
This isn’t every F2L case. These are only the cases for last slot. You missed the cases when one of the pieces is in the wrong slot, or both.
but there would be about 160 to cover, this covers the most important 41 (I think is the correct number), and you can set most of those up to these cases.
Christopher Aldous Still, the title is misleading. He should call all last slot F2L cases solved intuitively.
76 important need to knows, according to Jperm
Well nobody cares.
@@revivers6721 theres 83 in this doc (77 and easy cases according to j perm
This video is absolutely brilliant, thank you very much for this excellent sharing !
Very helpful!
*Hmmm everyone says how intuitive f2l is the best thing ever. But when you dont find it efficient you learn the algs. Why don’t you just learn the algs from the beginning?*
Hamzah Hussain then you don't know why an algorithm does what it does
Understanding the movement, and applying it to the actual solve. There is a lot of ways to insert f2l, learning it will help you understand how each behave for each piece. This will help you set up for each f2l and make the next pair easier.
sometimes, it better to understanding it, since you will learn multiple ways to solve it,and each one wil provide a differnt case for the next pair.
hamizannaruto I learnt intuitive, but for tricky inefficient cases I learnt algs. But I did them slowly and learnt how they affected the pieces
It will help you understand what algs do to the cube therefore making the algs easier to learn!
Stan Smith I found my own way, then I learned all the algs and found out what each algorithm does to the pieces around the cube
Thank you. You gave me some concepts to work with. Very nice explanation
4:15 you can do this R U' R' U R U' R' U2 R U' R'. I think it better :))
Sơn Nguyễn Thế I have looked into this a lot but the one in the vid is a bit better. Also, if the back slot is open, it's much quicker
thx for the tip
Sơn Nguyễn Thế ya I prefer this one
Sơn Nguyễn Thế yeah you are right
I Prever { Bw R' U2 R Bw' } then R U R' . Do the Bw's with your middle finger
A handful of these were definitely very helpful, thanks!
So helpful to learn "algorithmic" f2l intuitively thx:)
He got the best quility cubing videos
You got the best *quility* english
Sry, bro😂
Thank you so much! I finally have a better understanding of intuitive f2l.
Congrats bro on 20k
😇😇😇
I was just looking for something like that! You're awesome!
The RUclipsr “J Perm” teaches Rubin cube best. His F2L teaches for beginners clearly
That is where I learnt f2l from, but this is a great video as well.
Very nice video, you should make a video about solving the cross as fast as possible.
How can I get those cases to be in the cube to practice, I mean how can I get to a specific F2L case to solve it, I need the specific case in the cube to then solve it.
In most of these, he is starting at a solved cube, so you probably could look in slow motion to see what moves set up each case.
Another way is if you have a Bluetooth cube and use the training mode of Cubeast, you can practice cases directly without setting up anything. It takes a little bit to get used to just watching the cube on the screen instead of the real one, but it works.
This is probably the most useful cubing video in the history of speedcubing
literally better than j-perm. i understood it now, thx
Hi Philip, I use to execute each case in te same way as you do, but What I've noticed is that all my solves take around 60-65 moves (from the cross to the PLL) I mean, to solve the whole cube and I've seen that it should take around 35 - 40 moves. Maybe it's because for each case, I use to align the pieces to the front right empthy slot first? I think that my problem is that I'm not eficient on my solves. My average is 28 and my PB is 21.44. What do you recommend? I'm full CFOP
there's 3 problems there,
1)this are Last slot algs and when there's more slots free you can save 2-3 moves per pair in lots of ways,
2) your number is wrong the average with cfop is about 60(a bit less if you use move optimal algs and stuff
3)
Thank you so much so much for this tutorial it helped alot and it helped me to understand F2L case intuitively
Hey can you make a video on your pll or oll execution and your finger tricks plzz
Your finger tricks are amazing
@LaZer0MonKey Are these f2l algs efficient enough to start practising look-ahead with? I use almost all of these and I average around 19 seconds. Should I keep doing solves until I can average a bit faster, or should I just go straight into look-ahead?
This helped correct so to speak a lot of my INAEFICIANT f2l algs
there are actually 167 F2L cases
Iknow
Yes but those are just different color patterns you idiot
@@nuttyjoe I support u 😆
yes but with reg cube (like lasermonk uses) u wil only run across 41 soooo
This video is so helpful since im approaching sub-30
This is great. Please make ones on Oll and Pll
Sodafreakdrawing just go onto cubeskills.com and search oll of pll PDF and there all there
Thank you. Finally doing it well now.
Thanks a lot finally a video helped me
This is like the most helpful f2l toutotial it's like I've unlocked the key to f2l!
Today is my 3rd day on f2l
I’m still doing it slower than the beginner method though
Hi! Don't be worried if you're slower with f2l when you start. I was wayy slower with f2l because I didn't recognize the cases and I had to think about everything that I needed to do. Don't go back to the beginner method though! Stick to f2l, learn the basics, then learn the trickier cases, that's where I'm at now. Good luck!
Here is my avg
When I started - 2/3 minutes
After 2 weeks of practise - 1 min
After 2 months on beginners method-sub40
Advance start - back to a minute
After 2 months sub 30
After 4 months sub 15
Current avg - 14.23
Pb - 8 (got a ll skip and x cross)
1. Weird matching case (front) 8:28
2. Weird matching case (side) 9:00
best f2l tutorial i saw
Excellent lesson, thank you.
Thank u so much man helped a lot with f2l
Can I ask what Gan Cube are you using ? And could I get a link for it ?
Awesome video... Thanks... F2L seems a lot easier now... Keep making more awesome videos...
I think its the 365 air
For the flipped edge move an x r'uru' 3 times and an insert
Thank you so much for this !
that sledge hammer.....that is what i needed ....without that i was throwing the cube round lots of times ...now i can put any piece in using that sledge hammer without turning the cube more than one turn
I’m gonna send this to my friend that I’m teaching F2L
Mr. Cuber same here haha
This is the best tutorial, thanks mate
Loved this!
13:49 this is just a triple sexy move.
And how you do when you have three f2l done and you have the last one? Doesnt those algo break all apart? (Or at least break another f2l apart?
On the other hand, what i find hard is actually find the two pieces that make a f2l, when you are amateur like, rrally amateur this is a mess of colours. F2l intuitivity is easy. But to see the case fast enough is hard. Also, this is just when you have the 2 pieces in the last layer. Sometimes i focus on a corner and look for the other piece and it is in the wrong place (not the last layer) and that kinda slow you down. I think amateurs as i am too find f2l hard because of the colour recognition.
You can do an U move and rotate the cube. Use the empty slot. The algorithms don't always have to be executed in the exact spot he does it in
This helps me so much, could you do this for OLL and PLL????
Jperm.net
algdb.net
THIS IS SOOOOO HELPFUL THANK YOU!!!
When is it recomended to use the sledgehammer? I can't finde anye case where it's faster or gives me an Top skip like the normale way often does :)
Thank you this video helped me so much at cubing!!
It is biginner method or advance?
6:17 ( the empty slot needs to be in your right hand /in the move R\ ) do R U' R' U' R U2 R' U R U' R'
This algorithm is pretty good to use because you dont have to memorize it with the letters but to memorize it at the cube .
You can also do finger tricks
Greek2 Win that's just way too many moves to be good
Ben Baron but it is nice to do
You're wasting moves because his was only 8 yet yours is 11
At 11:15 u could also just move the corner up to th e corresponding edge
its my bday today and i feel special to have a very good video uploaded on my bday
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Happy BDay
NerdR8ge happy Birthday :D have a nice day pce
Happy bday
Happy b day
Over all good vid I needed to know more f2l algs too reach sub 10 thx
This helped me out so much
Thank you....
video is in great quality 🔥🔥
Is there a website or app that generates F2L cases on a 3D cube you can try to solve yourself? Practicing on a real cube is time consuming because you have to scramble it manually and set it up specifically for F2L cases. I feel I can learn much faster if a simulator automatically set it up for me on a 3D cube.
thanks bro ur the best..
before i was sub 45..now i became sub 30
u earned a sub!! :)
I just love that video :) I'm at about 18seconds right now so thats what I need 👍🏻👍🏻
Cool. Thanks for the tutorial!
Thanks Your video is the best F2l video that i learn 😉😉
This is the perfect vid that I need! Thanks 😊
3:41 You can also hide it so that white isn’t facing down.
