Step 3 of 6
Left block
What you should end up with
A 1×2×3 block on the left: the bottom edge and two corner-edge pairs. All edges are already good, so L, U and R are enough and the cube is never rotated.
How to do it
- Only L, U and R. No D: it would break the line.
- The usual way: a square of the bottom edge and one pair, then the second pair. A good target for one block is about 13 moves.
- Edges are always good already, so there are fewer cases than in CFOP F2L: an edge is never flipped.

Tips
›If the pair does not come together in one move, separate the pieces: take the corner into a free slot and back so the edge ends up next to it. The last card above shows it on an example.
