Move notation:

• https://ruwix.com/the-rubiks-cube/notation/advanced/ is a nice reference!
• R,L,U,D,F,B as usual for side turns
• For slice turns:
  • M move: Follows the L side, turns the middle slice. M’ goes “up”
  • E move: follows D -> E is a “swipe from left to right”
  • S is rarely used lol
• I often use U* to describe “some U-layer move”, but whether it’s U, U’, or U2 is situational.

Describing edge positions:

• UF, UB, UL, UR, DF, DB
  • Up/Down
  • Front/Back
  • Left/Right
• The “bottom two” are DF and DB
• The “left and right on top” are UL and UR (aka ULUR in step 2, later on)
