Also check

Arnaud's video for finishing the edges of the last layer.

Step 7: Finish the edges of the last layer

Almost there! At the last step you put the last edges at the correct place

Again you can also watch the video from Arnaud on the right.

Again as you might have guess you only need one algorithm.

The algorithm

This last algorithm is maybe the hardest one, but if you already understand the rest, this will not be any problem. The algorithm for this last step is:
F2 U' L R' F2 L' R U' F2 again this only shows how to do it.

How to use this?

Now you have to know how you can use this to solve the edges.
Mostly you will have 1 correct edge somewhere already. You will want to have that edge on the back of the cube (or on the 2 spot).

If you have done that you can use the algorithm to solve the edges. Sometimes you will have to do it twice.

Sometimes you will not have any good edges at all. Then it does not matter how you hold the cube. Just do F2 U' L R' F2 L' R U' F2 and one edge will be solved.

Some examples for this of course


sometimes rotate
the cube first

sometimes do it
twice

when there is no
good edge just
do it anyway

sometimes you even
have to do it
3 times

Congratulations! You solved the cube!!
