VLS (Category 5 “No Front”, Pattern 1 “no front”)

I call this category “No Front”, although the usual expression seems to be “UF Edges Misoriented”, or just “UF”.

In this page, I will show the algorithms I chose for the 8 cases of the Pattern 1.

I call this pattern “no front”.

The number (No) corresponds to the image taken from the web site of SpeedCubeDB: https://www.speedcubedb.com/a/VLS

No. 105: All 3 CP look at a side

https://www.speedcubedb.com/a/3×3/VLSUF/VLS_105/0

Algorithm: U’ (F’ U’ F) (R’ F R F’) (R U R’)

No. 103: UFR and UBR look at a side

https://www.speedcubedb.com/a/3×3/VLSUF/VLS_103

Algorithm: S (F’ U F U) (R U2′ R’) U2′ S’

No. 109: UFR and UBL look at a side

https://www.speedcubedb.com/a/3×3/VLSUF/VLS_109

Algorithm: U’ (F’ U’ F) (R U R D) (R’ U2 R D’) R2′

No. 107: UFR looks at a side

https://www.speedcubedb.com/a/3×3/VLSUF/VLS_107

Algorithm: U’ (R’ F R F’) (L U2 L’ U’ L U’ L’)

If you prefer, (U R’ U’ R U’ R’ U2′ R) can be used instead of L…L’.

No. 104: UBR and UBL look at a side

https://www.speedcubedb.com/a/3×3/VLSUF/VLS_104

Algorithm: (R U’ R’) + OLL

My OLL is (f R’ F’ R U R U’ R’ S’).

(f R’ F’ R) is Inverted Sledgehammer with f at the beginning.

No. 102: UBR looks at a side

https://www.speedcubedb.com/a/3×3/VLSUF/VLS_102

Algorithm: (F’ U’ F) (U R U’ R’) (U R U2′ R’)

No. 108: UBL looks at a side

https://www.speedcubedb.com/a/3×3/VLSUF/VLS_108

Algorithm: U2′ (F’ U’ F) U2′ (R’ F R F’)

No. 106: None of the CP looks at a side

https://www.speedcubedb.com/a/3×3/VLSUF/VLS_106

Algorithm: (F’ U’ F) (R U R’ U’) (R U’ R’)

For this pattern, (F’ U’ F) or (F’ U F) sequence is included in the most of my selected algorithms. I use my thumb only, or thumb & index finger combination to turn F/F’.
