F2L List

This page lists all non-Jeff2L standard F2L cases from every angle, focusing on rotationless algorithms. For each pair pattern (Left: oriented; Right: flipped), the case is mirrored to target slots BL/BR/FL/FR. For some cases, consider using more intuitive algorithms with rotations.

See Advanced F2L - Standard F2L for more complete list, or click on e.g. "I Oriented" to jump to the corresponding page in Advanced F2L.
