Much of this level is achieved with practice and by trial and error…

but we do have some tips.

2. Tips

Be sure to solve the sections of the white cross in the following order

blue, orange, green, red

Notice the Edge piece colors above match the top white center piece and the side red and blue center pieces.

This is how we know the edge pieces are in the correct positions.

Keeping the white center piece on top,

move the blue/white edge piece to the bottom face,

then rotate it on the bottom until it is directly under the blue center piece.

Now hold your Rubik’s Cube so the blue center piece and blue/white edge piece are on the right face.

Rotate the right face until the blue/white edge piece is on the top face and above the blue center piece.

If your Rubik’s Cube looks like this
