Step 8: Orient the Yellow Corners

The yellow corners are finally sitting in their right spots — hooray! 🎉 But uh-oh… some of them are still twisted the wrong way. Let’s help each one stand up straight with their yellow hats on top.

🧠 What’s the Goal?

Make sure that each corner shows yellow on top. No more sideways or upside-down yellow — we want a full, sunny yellow face shining proudly at the top! ☀️

It’s like helping four sleepy sunflowers turn their heads up to the sunshine.

🔄 Time to Flip the Cube!

First, we need to do a little cube gymnastics.

Flip the whole cube upside down so the white face is now on top, and the yellow face is on the bottom.

Don’t worry, yellow will shine again soon — we’re just helping it from the bottom up!

🎭 Solving the Corners One by One

Now it’s time to meet each twisted corner, one at a time.

Look at the bottom layer (which used to be the top!). Find a corner that still needs help — one that doesn’t have yellow facing down.

Hold the cube so that this corner is in the bottom-right corner (the “Down-Right” spot).

💃 The Dance That Fixes It All

To help the corner twist the right way, we’ll use a special little dance called the Super Move.

Here’s how it goes: ⬆ R ⬅ U ⬇ R' ➡ U'

Do the dance over and over (don’t turn the cube!) until the yellow sticker appears on the bottom — that means the corner is solved!

It’s like a little spin-a-roo until the yellow pops into place. You’ll see it happen like magic! 🪄

🔁 Move to the Next Corner

Now turn just the bottom layer (not the whole cube!) to bring another unsolved corner to the Down-Right spot.

Repeat the same Super Move dance until that corner is solved too.

Keep going around the cube, one sleepy corner at a time, until all the yellow corners are facing down.

🎊 You Did It!

☀️ The sun is shining, the yellow face is smiling, and all the corners are standing tall!
You’ve finished the very last twisty-turny part of the puzzle.

🎉 “You did it! All the colors are happy in their homes — your cube is completely solved!”

🏁 You did it! The cube is solved!
