The 41 F2L cases

The 41 ways the corner and edge of a pair can show up, sorted into 7 groups. Each cube shows the pair to insert at the front right (in colour), yellow on top, green in front.

These 41 cases assume both pieces are on top or in their own slot. Is a piece stuck in another slot? Take it out with a trigger first, then find your case here: F2L: common situations.
