TCMLL

TCMLL Information Proposer(s): Proposed: Alt Names: Variants: CMLL, TCLL Subgroup: No. Algs: 128 (86 for only TCMLL) Avg Moves: 10.54 [1] Purpose(s): Speedsolving

TCMLL is a method for solving the last four corners in Roux when the First two blocks are finished but the DFR corner is twisted. It was inspired by TCLL for 2x2. Similarly to CMLL, it doesn't preserve the edges in U and M.

TCMLL is also used in the WaterRoux method, for which Neuro has developed a list of algorithms. [2]

Pros

• Movecount is very similar to CMLL
• First two blocks can be built more efficiently

Cons

• 86 additional algorithms
• Not as optimized as CMLL

Tyrannical Caterpillar

Tyrannical Caterpillar is a variant to TCMLL which was developed in 2017 by Jules Manalang. Instead of only solving the four U layer corners and orienting the DFR corner, the FR edge is solved as well. Therefore, only the DFR corner needs to be inserted in any orientation, as opposed to a whole pair in Roux. To solve the missing edge, M moves are inserted during TCMLL.
