ELS

First step of the MGLS method: the algorithm places the pair's edge and orients every edge; the corner stays free. 21 cases.

21 cases · 549 algorithms

Proven optimum for every case.

How to read this page

Each case is seen at three quarters: top, front and right faces, plus the top layer's back and left stickers as flat strips.
Colours: yellow on top, blue in front, red on the right. Grey marks what the case does not look at.
Lengths in HTM: a face turn or a wide turn counts 1, a slice 2, a rotation 0. The "setup" (often a U turn) presents the cube as drawn and does not count.
In each case, the best optimal algorithm comes first, then the others from the easiest to the hardest to execute (ease score, lower is easier).
"Play" starts from the case (the inverse of the algorithm applied to the solved cube) and runs the algorithm on the 3D cube.
