**Strategy notes:**

CW = clockwise, CCW = counterclockwise
adj. = adjust in that direction
S and Z = make the shape of that letter

3 CW
4 CCW, up middle
5 CCW, up, CCW
6 CCW, S CCW
7 down CCW
9 down 3 right 2   
10 CW
11 2R adj.
13 CW Z CCW
14 2D adj, 2R adj, 4D adj.
15 3L adj, 3D adj.
16 immediate turn, CCW
17 2CW, CW, CCW, CW, reverse to small red square, CCW
18 purple, yellow, CCW down adj, left up, blue, right down, left adj, CCW
19 down CW, blue, bottom right 2CCW, up CW, yellow, bottom right 2CCW, purple, up CCW
20 purple left, left adj, yellow, down adj, blue, 3L adj, bottom right, CW, right adj

Tapping multiple times to turn the cube is faster than holding the key down and buffering it.
