No particular algorithm.

The formatting must remain intuitive.


Example

Step 2

The corners

When the corners have been processed, your puzzle will look like this:


The placement of pieces must remain intuitive.


Example a

The algorithm allows them to be swapped.

Example b

The algorithm allows them to be swapped.

Step 3

The edges

When the edges have been processed, your puzzle will look like this:

Case a

The white side of the edge is below

The algorithm helps guide it.

Case b

The white side of the edge is on the left

The algorithm helps guide it.

Case c

The white side of the edge is to the right

The algorithm helps guide it.
