Steps for the 3x3x2 Cylindrical Puzzle


The 3x3x2 cylindrical puzzle will be solved layer by layer, and the algorithms are derived from those of the 3x3x2 puzzle.

Step 1

Edges of the First Layer

When the edges are fully solved, your puzzle will look like this:

No specific algorithm.

The placement of the pieces should remain intuitive.

Step 2

Corners of the First Layer

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

The Piece Front-Right of the 2nd layer is misplaced

The algorithm allows us to move it up.

Step 3

The corners of the 2nd layer

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

Case a

Opposite corners Front-Right and Back-Right are misplaced

The algorithm allows us to swap them.

Case b

Adjacent corners Front-Left and Back-Left are misplaced

The algorithm allows us to swap them.

Step 4

The edges of the 2nd layer

Once the edges have been solved, your puzzle will look like this:

Case a

Opposite edges Front and Back are misplaced

The algorithm allows you to swap them.

Case b

Adjacent edges Front and Right are misplaced

The algorithm allows you to swap them.

Your 3x3x2 cylindrical puzzle is solved.
