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 cases·9.3 avg moves·6 pro uses

43
FH

Two twisted corners underneath, fixed on the way through.

172 cases·8.8 avg moves·4 pro uses

172

Twisty EG

TEG-1

An adjacent swap and a twisted corner, in one algorithm.

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

Last slot

LS

Three bottom corners built, and one algorithm for the rest.

486 cases·9 avg moves·180 pro uses
