2x2 Algorithms

Find the complete 2x2 algorithm reference, from Ortega through CLL and EG.

Beginner method

Ortega

Orient the top corners, then permute both layers - the beginner method.

15 cases · 8.6 avg moves · 70 pro uses

15

One-look last layer

CLL

The whole last layer in one algorithm, first layer built.

40 cases · 9.9 avg moves · 84 pro uses

40
EG-1

One-look last layer over an adjacent swap below.

40 cases · 10.7 avg moves · 49 pro uses

40
EG-2

One-look last layer over a diagonal swap below.

40 cases · 10.1 avg moves · 4 pro uses

40
LEG-1

The same cases as EG-1, held a quarter turn round.

40 cases · 9.6 avg moves · 2 pro uses

40

Twisty CLL

TCLL+

CLL with one corner twisted clockwise.

43 cases · 9.5 avg moves · 6 pro uses

43
TCLL-

CLL with one corner twisted anticlockwise.

43
FH

Two twisted corners underneath, fixed on the way through.

172 cases · 8.8 avg moves · 4 pro uses

344 cases · 9.3 avg moves · 13 pro uses

344
TEG-2

A diagonal swap and a twisted corner, in one algorithm.

86 cases · 9.1 avg moves

86
