Skewb hints

[Nestor]

I've been trying to solve the skewb for 2 days now, this puzzle is %$#%#$ deceiving. Only one successful solve going this way (but it was a lucky LL perm):

1) complete a side
2) insert center pieces
3) ??? cycle corners (I have no idea how I did it, I could not recreate the solution)

I just need a *hint* not any algorithms or tutorials. Should I try to permute last corners first then orient them, do it the other way around or work at a single corner at a time? I don't want to waste another 2 days going into blind alleys.

Thanks, and try not to be too explanatory and spoil the fun

Orient. You'll see...

Solution found! Funny, it involves only one algorithm for both centers and CLL cycles. I had to spend an hour building a sheet for all possible CLL positions and how the cycle affected them though....

Thanks for the hint
