XXX-CROSS EDGE PAIRING

Note: This tutorial begins at the point where you have finished the cross+centers, and you are holding the cross on the bottom.

1. Create and insert three F2L pairs. These consist of a corner+an edge of the same colors. the corner and edge must be directly touching. The corner must include white.

2. Slice back the top two layers, and insert the edge that needs to go in the third layer slot. Repeat this step two more times. Finally, slice back so the centers are solved.

3. Take out the unsolved edge in the FR slot so that one of the wings is opposite of its matching edge on the opposite side. Then do this alg: Rw U R' U' r'.

4. Insert it into the FR slot again. Look for more opposite wings on the top layer.
If there are none, do the 'T' OLL case until you have that case.

5. Once you complete step 4, you've paired up your edges and created a triple X-Cross.
