Corona, orient and permute

If you already know how to solve the 3×3, the 2×2 comes almost for free: build the first corona by intuition and solve the last layer reusing formulas you already know. Corona, orient, and permute: follow the three steps in order and the cube is solved.

If you come from the 3×3 you're halfway there: it's 3 steps and you reuse the Sune and the corner cycle you already know. If you don't, you can start here too.

Press the CYCLE button (the little cube icon, next to the Aa letters) to swap the colors so they match your own cube.
i If you're coming from the 3×3 and you're already used to solving the first corona with yellow on top, further down we recap the same algorithms and cases in that orientation.
