The Skewb for beginners

The Skewb turns on its four corners, not in layers. It's solved with a single formula, the sledgehammer R' r R r': you build the white face by hand and everything else —orienting the top corners and placing the six centres— is that same block, aimed at each part by turning the Skewb.

Drag the Skewb with your finger to look at it from anywhere, and use the playback area to see each formula step by step.

i The mask button shows only the pieces each step is about; press it again to see the whole Skewb.
