F2L

Pair a corner with its edge and insert them into the front-right slot. Diagrams grey out the last layer so the pair stands out.

How it works

Each place between the centres needs a pair: a corner with white and the edge with the same two colours. There are four such places, called slots. The formulas here are for the front-right slot: turn the cube or use the mirrored version to bring the slot you need there.
The usual order: if the pair is formed, insert it. If the corner and edge are apart, join them on top first. If a piece is stuck in another slot, bring it to the top first.
The most important cases come first in the list: everything else is built from them. Understand why they work first instead of memorising 41 formulas. Many solvers do F2L with no memorising at all.
While inserting one pair, look for the next. Slow with no pauses beats fast with stops. Try to avoid extra cube rotations: the Rotationless section is there for that.
