I call this category “Dot”, although the usual expression seems to be “All Edges Misoriented”. And I call this pattern “dot”. The number (No) corresponds to the image taken from the web site of SpeedCubeDB: https://www.speedcubedb.com/a/VLS In this page, I will show the algorithms I chose for the 8 cases of the Pattern 1. No.Continue reading “VLS (Category 1 “Dot”, Pattern 1 “dot”)”

There are 8 categories (including the so-called Winter Variation), and 27 algorithms in each category. How to memorize them (216 in total)? I adopted the following way for all categories. 1. Position the final pair in the U face to the front. You can slot it in by R U’ R’ in a normal way.Continue reading “VLS (Basics)”
