The route to a solved puzzle

On a Skewb, moves rotate around corners rather than square faces as they do on a 3×3.

01

Solve the white face

Connect the four white corners around the white center. Their side colors must also agree with one another.

02

Orient the yellow corners

Keep white on the bottom and use the trigger once or twice until all four yellow corners face up.

Hold the yellow center at the back, perform the trigger, rotate the whole puzzle 180 degrees, and repeat.
