Top Down Solution

3x3x3 Top Down Solution

Understanding the instructions used for this 3x3x3 cube solution.

We will display three sets of instruction, one graphic set and two text sets, simply choose the set that suits you best.

Algorithm code	F'	F	L'	L	R'	R	U'	U	D'	D
Graphic set
Descriptive set	Front face Anti-clock	Front face Clockwise	Left face Anti-clock	Left Face Clockwise	Right face Anti-clock	Right face Clockwise	Up Face Anti-clock	Up Face Clockwise	Down face Anti-clock	Down face Clockwise

Note: In the standard algorithm set D denotes a Down face one quarter clockwise rotation (i.e. 90 degrees), D' denotes a Down face one quarter anti-clockwise rotation and D2 a Down face one half rotation (i.e. 180 degrees).

IMPORTANT: Before starting any algorithm (sequence) in the solution, the face you choose as your top face must always be held on top and the specified Front face (the dark grey face on the graphics) held facing toward you until the algorithm is completed.

If you understand the terms and instructions we are using then you are ready to get started.
