6-Color Edge Hints
Page 3 of 3


Each of the following cubes can be solved using using two or more Edge Sequences, however, here are shortcuts that can solve them with one sequence. Use of the first two shortcuts eliminates the need of ever having to relocate facelets to match a setup because all other configurations can be matched to at least three facelets.


Shortcut 1 (SC1)
This cube has four misplaced facelets. Sequence 6C-E3 is used with the addition of a quarter-twist to the front face before the sequence is applied and with the last move replaced by a quarter twist (instead of a half-twist). Solve without the shortcut as shown here.
Shortcut 2 (SC2)
This cube also has four misplaced facelets. Sequence 6C-E2 is used with the addition of a half-twist of the horizontal slice before and after. Without this shortcut it would take two sequences to solve as shown here.
This cube has six misplaced facelets. Sequence 6C-E2 is used with the addition of a half-twist to the front face before & after. Solve without the shortcut as shown here.
This cube has six misplaced facelets. Sequence 6C-E2 is used with the addition of a quarter-twist to the front and back faces before & after. Solve without the shortcut as shown here.
This cube has eight misplaced facelets. Sequence 6C-E3 is used with the addition of a half-twist of the bottom face before & after. Without this shortcut it would take three sequences to solve as shown here.
