Roux 3 cycle doesn't work - or my brain doesn't work.

[Timmah]

So I'm getting to what I THINK is the three cycle on Roux, but the solutions I've found don't seem to work. I've watched Jperms youtube video on them about 10 times and mine don't seem exactly the same? Or they only work half the time? Or they keep cycling around and around when I try them?

Can someone help me unbreak my brain please? I've attached photos of where the cube gets to for reference.

for the third picture it looks like you can just do U2 M’ U2 to solve it.
For the first picture you can just do U2 M U2
and for the fourth picture you can just do U2 M’ U2 M’.
Basically just attach non-white edge color (same piece as the unsolved white edge) to it’s center.

Thanks for the answers.
Closing the thread as the question is solved.

OK! So! I found a genuinely awesome video about the 3 cycle that actually explains it perfectly for those of us still kinda intermediate with cubing terms!

Literally solved my issue with this step because he explains exactly what you need to look for and do. Genuinely recommend for anyone still a bit iffy about this step.

Skip to 4:57 which is THE best explanation of the process and two different types of 3 cycle.
