All 41 F2L Cases (Diagrams + Algorithms)

At a glance: F2L pairs corner–edge pairs into the first two layers. This page lists all 41 standard cases with a diagram and a solid algorithm for each—use it as a checklist while you drill.
F2L (First Two Layers) is the CFOP step that usually moves the needle on your time—more than almost anything else.
Below is a full list of all 41 cases, each with a clear diagram and an efficient algorithm you can practice until it’s muscle memory.

First Two Layers
Check the orientation of your cube as shown in the illustration.
Find the matching case on your own cube and follow the algorithm provided.
(The top layer can be white, yellow, or any color—it doesn’t affect the case.)
