Skewb
Layer by layer
Each move turns half of the cube around a corner. Three steps: the first layer, the top corners, the centres.
How to read the moves
Each move turns half of the Skewb around one corner by 1/3 of a turn. WCA notation has four such moves: R, L, U and B.
Without an apostrophe: clockwise, looking at that corner. An apostrophe is a turn the other way.
On the net the coloured pieces are the ones the move shifts, and the animation shows around which corner.
- RHalf around corner R
- LHalf around corner L
- UHalf around corner U
- BHalf around corner B
Step-by-step method
1. First layer

- Solve one face with corners that also match by their side colours.
- This step is intuitive: each move turns half of the Skewb around one corner.
- Keep the solved layer on the bottom.
