6-Color Edge Hints

A common occurrence is to find one misplaced facelet in the same location on each of four faces as is the case with these examples where you can see the white, green, yellow and blue misplaced facelets form a ring on the horizontal slice. While there is more than one way to solve each of these cubes a simple approach is to start by using Edge Sequence 6C-E4 on the ring of misplaced facelets (3 of 4 facelets match the setup). The result will match the setup for another sequence.


Apply Sequence 6C-E4 as shown, the result matches the setup for Sequence 6C-E2.
Apply Sequence 6C-E4 as shown, the result matches the setup for Sequence 6C-E3 after turning the cube as shown in steps 5 & 6.
Apply Sequence 6C-E4 as shown, the result matches the setup for 6C-E3 (3 of 4 facelets match) after turning the cube as shown in steps 5 & 6.
This cube has two rings and takes three sequences to solve. Apply Sequence 6C-E4 then turn the cube as shown in step 5 and again apply Sequence 6C-E4. The result matches the setup for Sequence 6C-E3 after turning the cube as shown in steps 10 & 11.
If the ring is going in the opposite direction as shown here then just turn the cube over as shown in step 1 before applying Sequence 6C-E4.
