Alexander's Star Tutorial

About Me…

I’m a middle-aged nobody who got into twisty puzzles when I turned 40. I’m on the Twisty Puzzles forum (twistypuzzles.com/forum) as rline. On youtube, back in 2017, I used to have 12,000 subscribers. Then I shut my channel down and took a break from it all. I’m sort of back.

I specialise in solving puzzles simply, mostly using only two algorithms:
Edge Piece Series: F R’ F’ R (and similar)
Corner Piece Series: U R U’ L’ U R’ U’ L
Occasionally, when needed, I use sune: R U R’ U R U2 R’

I absolutely love breaking down a difficult puzzle to the point where I can solve it using essentially nothing more than these three algorithms, or combinations.

I’m completely uninterested in speedsolving. I have no time for haters and anonymous keyboard warriors; life’s too short. I have no ads or calls to action. (What youtube does, though, is a mystery to me in this regard.)

I post new videos whenever I post new videos; according to my schedule, time and interest level. The main “issue” with making new videos is generally finding the funds to buy the puzzles (this hobby ain’t cheap…)

If you like the sound of a calm, considered and thoughtful approach to solving twisty puzzles, welcome. Enjoy your stay.
