Step 2 of 6

The 2×2×3 block

What you should end up with

One corner and two edges join the block: 7 pieces out of 20 in all. Only two faces stay free, R and U.

How to do it

Do not break the block: turn only faces that do not touch it. For a block at the back those are U, R and F.
Join the new corner with one of the edges into a pair and place it together with the second edge.
If a piece you need is in place but twisted, you can pick another corner: the block has three sides to grow on.

Examples

The bottom front edge The edge is at the top front, white up. F2 sets it next to the block.

F2

The pair forms in one move The corner is at the top front left, the edge at the top right, and the bottom edge is already placed. F brings the corner to the edge and joins them, U puts the pair above its place, and F' inserts it and returns the bottom edge.

F U F'

The same, with the pieces turned The corner is at the top back left, the edge at the top front. U' brings them to the case above.

U' F U F'

Tips

›The first four steps together should fit in about 30 moves when you solve slowly.
