2-Look OLL and PLL Algorithms

The 16 cases of 2-look OLL and PLL in one overview, in the four steps you solve them in. Every case lists the algorithms top cubers actually use, most-used first. Where our guide teaches something easier than the most-used choice, that one is marked Easiest - on most cases the two agree, so there is nothing to mark.

Step 3 · Permute the Corners PLL

Two cases to put the corners in place: one pair of headlights, or none. One in six arrives with them already permuted. Choose between J and T perm for headlights, and between Y and E for no headlights.
