Step 3: Middle Layer Edges
1. White Cross
2. White Corners
3. Middle Layer Edges
4. Yellow Cross
5. Yellow Face
6. Position Yellow Corners
7. Position Yellow Edges
What to Do
Insert the four middle-layer edges. Look for an edge piece in the top layer that has no yellow.

Notation guide: R=Right, L=Left, U=Up, D=Down, F=Front, B=Back. Apostrophe (') = counterclockwise. 2 = double turn.
💡 Pro Tips for This Step
- Look for an edge piece in the top layer with NO yellow
- Align it left or right of its destination column
- Use the provided algorithm — you'll do this 4 times
- If an edge is stuck in the wrong place, insert a random piece to pop it out
