The second block, with R, r, U and M

Build the right block without touching the first block.

Keyboard: Enter to continue, ← to go back. Keep your hands on the cube.

The second block is the same as the first, on the right. The rule: don’t turn L anymore, so you don’t break the first block.

You have R, r, U and M. With these 4 moves, you can do everything without ever rotating the cube.

Place the bottom-right edge first, then the back pair, then the front one. M lets you move edges around without touching the blocks.

Remember: R U R’ and R U’ R’ are enough for most pairs, just like in F2L.

I rotate the cube without thinking: Do a series of slow solves where you allow yourself no rotations at all.
The edge I need is stuck at the bottom: Bring it up with M or M’: that doesn’t touch either block.
