This document presents F2L algorithms for solving the first two layers of a Rubik's Cube. It introduces basic F2L insert cases and then provides algorithms to solve various F2L pair configurations, including incorrectly connected pieces, edges or corners in the U face, and fully solved pairs. Notation for cube rotations like R, U, F are also defined.
