Puzzle: Octahedron, Edge Cut, Type A, 1st Order
Abbreviation: Octa EA1
Commonly Known As: Nothing

Piece Counts

Name	Qty	Colors	Orient.	Perm.	Orbits
Corner	6	4	4, Fixed	Odd	None
Wing	24	2	None	Odd	None
Edge	12	2	2	None	None
Face	24	1	None	Even	4

Move Types

Type	Layer	Period	Pieces Affected	Total Parity
Edge	1	2	1 edge flip, 2 corner swaps, 3 wing swaps, 2 face swaps	Odd

Suggested Solving Orders

By Piece Type
1. Solve corners and some edges
2. Finish edges
3. Solve faces
4. Solve wings

Important Issues and Notes
The face pieces fall into four orbits. Each orbit has one piece on each of six faces.

Useful Algorithms
In step 1, twist two corners: (UF UR FR) FL (FR UR UF) FL
In step 2, twist two edges: (UF UR) x 3
In step 2, twist two edges: (UR UL) x 3
In step 3, three cycle faces: (FR FL UF FL) x 2
In step 4, three cycle wings: (FR DF FL DF) x 2
In step 4, useful set up move 1: (UF UR FR)
In step 4, useful set up move 2: (FR DR DF) (UF UR FR)
