2x2
Ortega
Ortega has three steps: the first face, OLL (7 cases) and PBL (6 cases).
How to read the moves
You hold the cube facing you. The letter is the face: R right, L left, U up, D down, F front, B back.
A letter alone is a quarter turn clockwise, looking straight at that face. An apostrophe (R′) is a turn the other way, and 2 (R2) is a half turn.
The 2x2 has no middle layers, so plain face moves are enough.
- RRight face up
- R'Right face down
- R2Right face half turn
- UUp to the left
- FFront clockwise
