# One edge is flipped

All the pieces are in place but one edge shows its two colours the wrong way round. Or in the yellow-cross step you see one or three yellow edges up, a shape the method never produces.

## Why turning can't fix it

Edges always flip in pairs. A single flipped edge means the cube was taken apart and an edge went back in the wrong way round.

## How to fix it

1. If the scanner reported this, check the stickers of each edge first.
2. If the cube really is wrong, turn the top layer 45°.
3. Lever the flipped edge out gently, starting from one side.
4. Push it back in the other way round.

## Common mistakes

- **Flipping two edges by hand.** That gives a cube that can be solved, but with two edges you then have to fix again. Flip only the one that's wrong.
