How to Solve the Third Layer of a Rubik’s Cube?

Hold the cube with the solved first two layers at the bottom

Make the top layer a single color by orienting the top edges

Use the edge orientation algorithm until all top edges match the top color

Match top edge pieces with their side colors

Use the edge permutation algorithm until all top edges are in the correct positions

Place the top corners in their correct positions

Use the corner permutation algorithm until all top corners are in the correct positions

Orient the top corners so the top face is fully solved

Repeat the corner orientation algorithm until the third layer is complete
