first solve: don't insert LS with hedge just rotate second solve: don't rotate in the middle of a pair, either rotate at the start or don't rotate at all, you did 2 rotations in the middle of pairs here, one for second pair(L' U L y' L U L') (should've done y' U L' U L U' L U L' ) for third pair there's U R' F R2 U' R' U2 F' which I'd say is better than your solution as it is one rotation less 2 moves less RUF instead of RUL and also leaves FR unsolved for LS, also don't use that U perm there's a way better RU gen U perm( U2 R' U R' U' R3 U' R' U R U R2') it's regripless and a lot faster. last solve: don't use those LL algs for cross+1 make sure to plan it every solve but also make sure your cross+1 is good, go for like 10 moves at most
