4x4 Last 2 Edges (Edge Flip Alg)
Learn how to solve the last 2 edges on your 4x4 with this easy-to-follow guide. We have written this guide with beginners in mind. If you struggle at any point, please do reach out to us, and we will be more than happy to help. Let's learn the 4x4 edge flip algorithm.
This is also known as the 'Edge Flipping Algorithm' or 'Edge Flip'. All this algorithm does is flip 2 adjacent edges; it's really simple to perform and easy to remember.
Before performing the edge flip algorithm, we have to set the edges up correctly. There are 3 right ways the edges can be and 3 wrong ways, as shown above.
Note: The matching edges need to be opposite each other for the edge flip algorithm to work.If your edges are in the incorrect positions, hold these 2 edges on the top layer in the LEFT and RIGHT edge slots and perform the algorithm: R' U F' U'
If your edges are correctly positioned (or after you have performed the above algorithm), hold the cube so that these 2 edge pairs are on the FRONT face in the LEFT and RIGHT slots.
Perform a u' move as shown in the image below; this is the setup move for the edge flip algorithm.
Now perform the edge flip algorithm "R U R' F R' F' R" (don't forget to undo the setup move by performing a u move after the edge flip algorithm).
All of your edges should now be solved.
