  • R - Right face.
  • L - Left face.
  • U - Up face.
  • D - Down face.
  • F - Front face.
  • B - Back face.
Face rotations 90 degrees counterclockwise:
  • R' - Right face.
  • L' - Left face.
  • U' - Up face.
  • D' - Down face.
  • F' - Front face.
  • B' - Back face.

  • R2 - Right face.
  • L2 - Left face.
  • U2 - Up face.
  • D2 - Down face.
  • F2 - Front face.
  • B2 - Back face.
Face rotations 180 degrees counterclockwise:

  • B2' - Back face.
Layer rotations clockwise:
  • M - Middle layer between L and R. Turn direction as L.
  • E - Equator layer between U and D. Turn direcion as D.
  • S - Standing layer between F and B. Turn direction as F.
  • X - Rotate the entire cube as it would be the R turn.
  • Y - Rotate the entire cube as it would be the U turn.
  • Z - Rotate the entire cube as it would be the F turn.
Layer rotations counterclockwise:
  • M' - Middle layer between L and R. Turn direction as R.
  • E' - Equator layer between U and D. Turn direcion as U.
  • S' - Standing layer between F and B. Turn direction as B.
  • X' - Rotate the entire cube as it would be the L turn.
