Screw is a Square-1 method that follows the same basic steps in the 3x3x3 Roux method and is somewhat of an experimental method.

Description of method

• 1. Solve the LD block (2 corners, 1 edge)
• 2. Solve the RD block (2 corners, 1 edge)
• 3. Permute the U-layer corners without breaking the blocks
• 4. Solve the L-R edges on the U layer
• 5. Solve the M-slice edges
• 6. Solve parity

Naming

The name "Screw" comes from "Square-1" and "Roux". It is sometimes called "Roux and Screw", though this would be a shorted version of "Roux and Square-1 Roux".
