(Use commutators to avoid long memorization.) 4‑Dots on each face (2×2 blocks of center pieces swapped) Algorithm: 3R2 3U2 3R2 3U2 3R2 3F2 3R2 3F2 3U2 3F2 3U2 3F2

3R U2 3L' U2 3R' U2 3L U2 (swap inner edge groups) then apply 3×3 pattern on outer layers.
(3R U 3R' U)5 then adjust with outer moves. But known optimal (non‑lengthy): rubik cube 5x5 pattern algorithms pdf
This cycles three inner center blocks. Repeat with different orientations. Example (white dot on red face): 3L' U2 3L U2 3L' U2 3L U2 then rotate cube so that red face is on top.

Result on 5×5: edge pieces form a checkerboard, centers remain solved. Effect: Every piece (including inner slices) alternates colors. (Use commutators to avoid long memorization
Better yet – for 5×5 Anaconda:
M' U M' U M' U2 M U M U M U2 repeated on all slice planes.
Easier for humans – perform standard 3×3 superflip on outer layers, then repeat on inner layers using 3R and 3L instead of M. Build your own 5×5 pattern with: But known optimal (non‑lengthy): This cycles three inner

Alternative single sequence: M' (U2 D2) M (U2 D2) where M = slice between R and L. Effect: Each center block (3×3) moves to the opposite face.
