Algorithms
- 1: All In NO FLIP
- (r U r' U') *5 (20, 30)
- Does nothing, as does every other algorithm when repeated enough times.
- 2: One In Three Out NO FLIP
- F2 U r U2 r' U F2 (7, 10, 12)
- The edge that is in is at the back (BU). Moves the other three Last Level edges around clockwise.
- r2 U' r' U2 r U' r2
- Variation
- 3: One In Three Out NO FLIP
- F2 U' r U2 r' U' F2 (7, 10, 12)
- The edge that is in is at the back (BU). Moves the other three Last Level edges around counterclockwise.
- 4: Swap Across NO FLIP
- r2 U r2 U2 r2 U r2 (7, 12, 16)
- r2 U2 r2 U r2 U2 r2 U' (8, 14, 22)
- Variation
- (R' L' D2 R L U)*2 (12, 14)
- Variation
- 5: Swap Adjacent NO FLIP
- r2 D f2 D' f r2 f' (7, 10, 16)
- This swaps edges FU <-> RU, and edges BU <-> LU.

- 7: One in three out clockwise FLIP TWO ACROSS

- The edge that's in place is not flipped over.
- 8: One in (not flipped) three out counterclockwise FLIP TWO ACROSS

- The edge that's in place is flipped over, and is on the left (UL). Three edges move around counterclockwise.
- 10: One in (flipped) three out counterclockwise FLIP TWO ACROSS
- r2 D' f D2 f' D' r U r U2 r' U r (13, 16, 24)
- The edge that's in place is flipped over, and is at the front (UF).
- 11: Swap across FLIP TWO ACROSS

- Flipped edges are UF and UB.
- 12: Swap adjacent FLIP TWO ACROSS

- 14: No Swap FLIP TWO ADJACENT
- R' u R2 u2 R' U R u2 R2 u' R U' (12, 16, 22)
- What you do to one edge you do backwards to another edge.
- 15: One in three out counterclockwise FLIP TWO ADJACENT
- r U r' U2 r U r' (7, 8, 12)
- The edge that's in place is not flipped and is at UF and the edge normally opposite it is flipped over at UL, the other flipped edge is at UB. Three corners move around clockwise.
- 16: One in three out clockwise FLIP TWO ADJACENT
