3x3 F2L 18 algorithm
3x3 F2L 18: corner at UFR, edge at UF. Learn the 7-turn algorithm with sticker directions and execution notes.
Insert the target corner–edge pair while keeping the cross and the other completed slots intact.
F2L 18 belongs to the Connected Pairs group in F2L.
Recognize this starting position
For the front-right target slot in this training state, the DFR corner is at UFR and the FR edge is at UF. Corner sticker directions are D→U, R→F, F→R; edge sticker directions are R→U, F→F. Each arrow reads color reference face → current facing direction.
