PLL algorithms
for Pseudo-Cross

Picture
These algorithms are to solve PLL in a more efficient way while also swapping two opposite edges on the D layer. 

Solving the cross with two opposite edges swapped can make transitioning to F2L much easier and faster than solving the cross like normal. Doing this also gives us an advantage of solving PLL in different ways.

All of the algorithms below are assuming that you need to swap the FD and FB edge. 

Parenthisis are just to ehlp visually organize the algorithms.


Edge Cases

M2 U2 M2 U2

M2 U M2 U2 M’ U2 M’ U M2
or
R U R’ U’ (M2 U2 M2) U' R U’ R’
or
M2 U2 (Uw M' Uw2 M' Uw) M2 U2
or
U M2 U2 M2 U (M2 U M U2 M' U M2)



Picture
Recognize by having opposite color edge/corner pairs on back and right (Blue/Green and Red/Orange)

M2 U M U2 M' U' M2 U2


Picture
M' U M2 U M2 U M
​or
M2 U M2 U' (M' U2 M2 U2 M')


Picture
M' U' M2 U' M2 U' M
or
M2 U' M2 U (M' U2 M2 U2 M')


Other easy PLL cases
