Welcome, to my Daily Algorithm Thread, where I will be attempting to post at least one random alg per day, giving any explanation of what it does, when to use it, and, of course, the actual algorithm!
Day #1
U Perms from the back (U2 from the standard algorithm)
Ua: R U R' U R' U' R2 U' R' U...
Ok, this might already exist, but this is just an thread for good algs. That is really all this is for. This might be in the wrong type of discussion, so move it if you need to. I hope this helps people in some way. Bye!

Are you learning an algorithm set like ZBLL, EG, or even just OLL? Post progress updates here!
Personally, I’m learning full ZBLL. I’m done with Pi and I’m pretty comfortable with it. Today I’ll be finishing up the H set which is exciting :)
This algorithm is inspired by a Winter Variation alg that goes like such: L’ U2 R U R’ U2 L.
The alg is done by holding the cube the way you would hold the Jb Perm and doing this: (L’ U2 R U R’ U2 L)3 U2 (L’ U2 R U R’ U2 L)3
This alg is 43 moves, so not even close to as long as the long H perm...
Hey folks!
I have created a full edge control algset for you all, as I couldn’t find one when I was trying to learn it.
For those who don’t know, full edge control is where you insert the last pair in a way that solves the cross on the last layer, basically skipping a step for people who use...
I have a question: Should I view my AUF as a part of my PLL algorithm or should I view it as it’s entire separate part. What I’m asking for is this: If I do a J perm, and my AUF was a U’, if I did the algorithm, should I view the J perm as a J perm with a U’ at the end or as just a J perm and...
Hello,
I am not sure I am posting in the right thread.
For the website I introduced here, I am looking for "official" names for the different algorithms of the standard subsets.
For instance, the 57 OLL numbering is standard (even if it seems arbitrary to me, do you know who numbered them and...
Hello,
If you are wondering what this or that OLL actually does (in terms of permutations for instance), this website can help you:

When I introduced myself two and half years ago I told you I was working on a website that would analyze the effects of an algorithm. For...
Hi all, couldn't find a thread for this, so decided to make my own.
I will be adding more over time.
Hope this helps,

P.S. Mods, if there is a megathread for this, then feel free to move it.
So, I want to get an OLL case. Besides reversing the algorithm or spamming the algorithm, is there a way I can recreate JPerm's algorithm generator on his website? How do I generate those algs? I have coding experience, so I should just need instructions.
This thread is an attempt at the question we've all asked a bunch of times:
What alg set should I learn next?
I know F2L OLL AND PLL. I am now clueless about what to learn next.
I've seen many beginners complain about algs being hard to memorize, and everyone's been there. So I decided to make a guide to help even intermediate and advanced cubers memorize algs. This is a constant WIP, and I am fine with changing something if you see a problem.
