Begin with the piece in the source position (edge N.) See where it goes, then look where the cubie in that position belongs. These two letters will make up the first word to be placed on your third Roman Room item. Continue in this manner until you run into the cubie that belongs in the source (N) position. If necessary, start a new cycle, but do not denote that piece as being correctly positioned until you come across the cubie that belongs there. It is theoretically possible that you may have to begin five new cycles, but I have never had to do more than three. Keep running through your sequence(s) until all edges have been accounted for. Remember to first look for how many, if any, edges are already correctly permuted, regardless of if they are correctly or incorrectly oriented. If you have to do an odd number of T-perms to permute all the edges (i.e. if you have an unpaired letter,) add a D to it to complete the pair.
