'''PLL''' is the Permutation of the [[Last Layer]], the last step of many speedsolving methods. In this step, the pieces on the top layer have already been oriented ([[OLL]]) so that the top face has all the same color, and they can now be moved into their solved positions. There are 21 PLLs (13 if you count mirrors and inverses as being the same) and each one is named after a letter. The following page gives a list of all of the PLLs, along with a picture and a list of common [[algorithm]]s for each one. The diagrams below are top views of where you want the pieces to go. For example, the [[PLL#T_Permutation|T Permutation]] (or 'T perm') swaps the UL and UR edges, as well as the UFR and UBR corners. Make sure to try out all of the available algorithms for a case to see which one feels the fastest to you - the same algorithm may not be the fastest for everyone, and shorter algorithms are not always faster than longer ones. PLL is a subgroup of [[ZBLL]].

==Permutations of Edges Only==
This subgroup, [[EPLL]] is used as a [[sub step]] for many speedsolving methods, for example in the [[VH method]] ([[COLL]]).

{{H-PLL}}
{{U-PLL(a)}}
{{U-PLL(b)}}
{{Z-PLL}}

==Permutations of Corners Only==
This is also known as [[CPLL]] (Corner Permute Last Layer). There is one more case in this group, the X-PLL but that is the same alg as [[H-PLL]] + U2, see [[EPLL]].

'''PLL''' is the Permutation of the [[Last Layer]], the last step of many speedsolving methods. In this step, the pieces on the top layer have already been oriented ([[OLL]]) so that the top face has all the same color, and they can now be moved into their solved positions. There are 21 PLLs (13 if you count mirrors and inverses as being the same) and each one is named after a letter. The following page gives a list of all of the PLLs, along with a picture and a list of common [[algorithm]]s for each one. The diagrams below are top views of where you want the pieces to go. For example, the [[PLL#T_Permutation|T Permutation]] (or 'T perm') swaps the UL and UR edges, as well as the UFR and UBR corners. Make sure to try out all of the available algorithms for a case to see which one feels the fastest to you - the same algorithm may not be the fastest for everyone, and shorter algorithms are not always faster than longer ones. PLL is a subgroup of [[ZBLL]].

==Permutations of Edges Only==
This subgroup, [[EPLL]] is used as a [[sub step]] for many speedsolving methods, for example in the [[VH method]] ([[COLL]]).

{{H-PLL}}
{{U-PLL(a)}}
{{U-PLL(b)}}
{{Z-PLL}}

==Permutations of Corners Only==
This is also known as [[CPLL]] (Corner Permute Last Layer). There is one more case in this group, the X-PLL but that is the same alg as [[H-PLL]] + U2, see [[EPLL]].

'''PLL''' is the Permutation of the [[Last Layer]], the last step of many speedsolving methods. In this step, the pieces on the top layer have already been oriented ([[OLL]]) so that the top face has all the same color, and they can now be moved into their solved positions. There are 21 PLLs (13 if you count mirrors and inverses as being the same) and each one is named after a letter. The following page gives a list of all of the PLLs, along with a picture and a list of common [[algorithm]]s for each one. The diagrams below are top views of where you want the pieces to go. For example, the [[PLL#T_Permutation|T Permutation]] (or 'T perm') swaps the UL and UR edges, as well as the UFR and UBR corners. Make sure to try out all of the available algorithms for a case to see which one feels the fastest to you - the same algorithm may not be the fastest for everyone, and shorter algorithms are not always faster than longer ones. PLL is a subgroup of [[ZBLL]].

==Permutations of Edges Only==
This subgroup, [[EPLL]] is used as a [[sub step]] for many speedsolving methods, for example in the [[VH method]] ([[COLL]]).

{{H-PLL}}
{{U-PLL(a)}}
{{U-PLL(b)}}
{{Z-PLL}}

==Permutations of Corners Only==
This is also known as [[CPLL]] (Corner Permute Last Layer). There is one more case in this group, the X-PLL but that is the same alg as [[H-PLL]] + U2, see [[EPLL]].

'''PLL''' is the Permutation of the [[Last Layer]], the last step of many speedsolving methods. In this step, the pieces on the top layer have already been oriented ([[OLL]]) so that the top face has all the same color, and they can now be moved into their solved positions. There are 21 PLLs (13 if you count mirrors and inverses as being the same) and each one is named after a letter. The following page gives a list of all of the PLLs, along with a picture and a list of common [[algorithm]]s for each one. The diagrams below are top views of where you want the pieces to go. For example, the [[PLL#T_Permutation|T Permutation]] (or 'T perm') swaps the UL and UR edges, as well as the UFR and UBR corners. Make sure to try out all of the available algorithms for a case to see which one feels the fastest to you - the same algorithm may not be the fastest for everyone, and shorter algorithms are not always faster than longer ones. PLL is a subgroup of [[ZBLL]].

==Permutations of Edges Only==
This subgroup, [[EPLL]] is used as a [[sub step]] for many speedsolving methods, for example in the [[VH method]] ([[COLL]]).

{{H-PLL}}
{{U-PLL(a)}}
{{U-PLL(b)}}
{{Z-PLL}}

==Permutations of Corners Only==
This is also known as [[CPLL]] (Corner Permute Last Layer). There is one more case in this group, the X-PLL but that is the same alg as [[H-PLL]] + U2, see [[EPLL]].

'''PLL''' is the Permutation of the [[Last Layer]], the last step of many speedsolving methods. In this step, the pieces on the top layer have already been oriented ([[OLL]]) so that the top face has all the same color, and they can now be moved into their solved positions. There are 21 PLLs (13 if you count mirrors and inverses as being the same) and each one is named after a letter. The following page gives a list of all of the PLLs, along with a picture and a list of common [[algorithm]]s for each one. The diagrams below are top views of where you want the pieces to go. For example, the [[PLL#T_Permutation|T Permutation]] (or 'T perm') swaps the UL and UR edges, as well as the UFR and UBR corners. Make sure to try out all of the available algorithms for a case to see which one feels the fastest to you - the same algorithm may not be the fastest for everyone, and shorter algorithms are not always faster than longer ones. PLL is a subgroup of [[ZBLL]].

==Permutations of Edges Only==
This subgroup, [[EPLL]] is used as a [[sub step]] for many speedsolving methods, for example in the [[VH method]] ([[COLL]]).

{{H-PLL}}
{{U-PLL(a)}}
{{U-PLL(b)}}
{{Z-PLL}}

==Permutations of Corners Only==
This is also known as [[CPLL]] (Corner Permute Last Layer). There is one more case in this group, the X-PLL but that is the same alg as [[H-PLL]] + U2, see [[EPLL]].

'''PLL''' is the Permutation of the [[Last Layer]], the last step of many speedsolving methods. In this step, the pieces on the top layer have already been oriented ([[OLL]]) so that the top face has all the same color, and they can now be moved into their solved positions. There are 21 PLLs (13 if you count mirrors and inverses as being the same) and each one is named after a letter. The following page gives a list of all of the PLLs, along with a picture and a list of common [[algorithm]]s for each one. The diagrams below are top views of where you want the pieces to go. For example, the [[PLL#T_Permutation|T Permutation]] (or 'T perm') swaps the UL and UR edges, as well as the UFR and UBR corners. Make sure to try out all of the available algorithms for a case to see which one feels the fastest to you - the same algorithm may not be the fastest for everyone, and shorter algorithms are not always faster than longer ones. PLL is a subgroup of [[ZBLL]].

==Permutations of Edges Only==
This subgroup, [[EPLL]] is used as a [[sub step]] for many speedsolving methods, for example in the [[VH method]] ([[COLL]]).

{{H-PLL}}
{{U-PLL(a)}}
{{U-PLL(b)}}
{{Z-PLL}}

==Permutations of Corners Only==
This is also known as [[CPLL]] (Corner Permute Last Layer). There is one more case in this group, the X-PLL but that is the same alg as [[H-PLL]] + U2, see [[EPLL]].

'''PLL''' is the Permutation of the [[Last Layer]], the last step of many speedsolving methods. In this step, the pieces on the top layer have already been oriented ([[OLL]]) so that the top face has all the same color, and they can now be moved into their solved positions. There are 21 PLLs (13 if you count mirrors and inverses as being the same) and each one is named after a letter. The following page gives a list of all of the PLLs, along with a picture and a list of common [[algorithm]]s for each one. The diagrams below are top views of where you want the pieces to go. For example, the [[PLL#T_Permutation|T Permutation]] (or 'T perm') swaps the UL and UR edges, as well as the UFR and UBR corners. Make sure to try out all of the available algorithms for a case to see which one feels the fastest to you - the same algorithm may not be the fastest for everyone, and shorter algorithms are not always faster than longer ones. PLL is a subgroup of [[ZBLL]].

==Permutations of Edges Only==
This subgroup, [[EPLL]] is used as a [[sub step]] for many speedsolving methods, for example in the [[VH method]] ([[COLL]]).

{{H-PLL}}
{{U-PLL(a)}}
{{U-PLL(b)}}
{{Z-PLL}}

==Permutations of Corners Only==
This is also known as [[CPLL]] (Corner Permute Last Layer). There is one more case in this group, the X-PLL but that is the same alg as [[H-PLL]] + U2, see [[EPLL]].

'''PLL''' is the Permutation of the [[Last Layer]], the last step of many speedsolving methods. In this step, the pieces on the top layer have already been oriented ([[OLL]]) so that the top face has all the same color, and they can now be moved into their solved positions. There are 21 PLLs (13 if you count mirrors and inverses as being the same) and each one is named after a letter. The following page gives a list of all of the PLLs, along with a picture and a list of common [[algorithm]]s for each one. The diagrams below are top views of where you want the pieces to go. For example, the [[PLL#T_Permutation|T Permutation]] (or 'T perm') swaps the UL and UR edges, as well as the UFR and UBR corners. Make sure to try out all of the available algorithms for a case to see which one feels the fastest to you - the same algorithm may not be the fastest for everyone, and shorter algorithms are not always faster than longer ones. PLL is a subgroup of [[ZBLL]].

==Permutations of Edges Only==
This subgroup, [[EPLL]] is used as a [[sub step]] for many speedsolving methods, for example in the [[VH method]] ([[COLL]]).

{{H-PLL}}
{{U-PLL(a)}}
{{U-PLL(b)}}
{{Z-PLL}}

==Permutations of Corners Only==
This is also known as [[CPLL]] (Corner Permute Last Layer). There is one more case in this group, the X-PLL but that is the same alg as [[H-PLL]] + U2, see [[EPLL]].

'''PLL''' is the Permutation of the [[Last Layer]], the last step of many speedsolving methods. In this step, the pieces on the top layer have already been oriented ([[OLL]]) so that the top face has all the same color, and they can now be moved into their solved positions. There are 21 PLLs (13 if you count mirrors and inverses as being the same) and each one is named after a letter. The following page gives a list of all of the PLLs, along with a picture and a list of common [[algorithm]]s for each one. The diagrams below are top views of where you want the pieces to go. For example, the [[PLL#T_Permutation|T Permutation]] (or 'T perm') swaps the UL and UR edges, as well as the UFR and UBR corners. Make sure to try out all of the available algorithms for a case to see which one feels the fastest to you - the same algorithm may not be the fastest for everyone, and shorter algorithms are not always faster than longer ones. PLL is a subgroup of [[ZBLL]].

==Permutations of Edges Only==
This subgroup, [[EPLL]] is used as a [[sub step]] for many speedsolving methods, for example in the [[VH method]] ([[COLL]]).

{{H-PLL}}
{{U-PLL(a)}}
{{U-PLL(b)}}
{{Z-PLL}}

==Permutations of Corners Only==
This is also known as [[CPLL]] (Corner Permute Last Layer). There is one more case in this group, the X-PLL but that is the same alg as [[H-PLL]] + U2, see [[EPLL]].

'''PLL''' is the Permutation of the [[Last Layer]], the last step of many speedsolving methods. In this step, the pieces on the top layer have already been oriented ([[OLL]]) so that the top face has all the same color, and they can now be moved into their solved positions. There are 21 PLLs (13 if you count mirrors and inverses as being the same) and each one is named after a letter. The following page gives a list of all of the PLLs, along with a picture and a list of common [[algorithm]]s for each one. The diagrams below are top views of where you want the pieces to go. For example, the [[PLL#T_Permutation|T Permutation]] (or 'T perm') swaps the UL and UR edges, as well as the UFR and UBR corners. Make sure to try out all of the available algorithms for a case to see which one feels the fastest to you - the same algorithm may not be the fastest for everyone, and shorter algorithms are not always faster than longer ones. PLL is a subgroup of [[ZBLL]].

'''PLL''' is the Permutation of the [[Last Layer]], the last step of many speedsolving methods. In this step, the pieces on the top layer have already been oriented ([[OLL]]) so that the top face has all the same color, and they can now be moved into their solved positions. There are 21 PLLs (13 if you count mirrors and inverses as being the same) and each one is named after a letter. The following page gives a list of all of the PLLs, along with a picture and a list of common [[algorithm]]s for each one. The diagrams below are top views of where you want the pieces to go. For example, the [[PLL#T_Permutation|T Permutation]] (or 'T perm') swaps the UL and UR edges, as well as the UFR and UBR corners. Make sure to try out all of the available algorithms for a case to see which one feels the fastest to you - the same algorithm may not be the fastest for everyone, and shorter algorithms are not always faster than longer ones. PLL is a subgroup of [[ZBLL]].

==Permutations of Edges Only==
This subgroup, [[EPLL]] is used as a [[sub step]] for many speedsolving methods, for example in the [[VH method]] ([[COLL]]).

{{H-PLL}}
{{U-PLL(a)}}
{{U-PLL(b)}}
{{Z-PLL}}

==Permutations of Corners Only==
This is also known as [[CPLL]] (Corner Permute Last Layer). There is one more case in this group, the X-PLL but that is the same alg as [[H-PLL]] + U2, see [[EPLL]].

'''PLL''' is the Permutation of the [[Last Layer]], the last step of many speedsolving methods. In this step, the pieces on the top layer have already been oriented ([[OLL]]) so that the top face has all the same color, and they can now be moved into their solved positions. There are 21 PLLs (13 if you count mirrors and inverses as being the same) and each one is named after a letter. The following page gives a list of all of the PLLs, along with a picture and a list of common [[algorithm]]s for each one. The diagrams below are top views of where you want the pieces to go. For example, the [[PLL#T_Permutation|T Permutation]] (or 'T perm') swaps the UL and UR edges, as well as the UFR and UBR corners. Make sure to try out all of the available algorithms for a case to see which one feels the fastest to you - the same algorithm may not be the fastest for everyone, and shorter algorithms are not always faster than longer ones. PLL is a subgroup of [[ZBLL]].

==Permutations of Edges Only==
This subgroup, [[EPLL]] is used as a [[sub step]] for many speedsolving methods, for example in the [[VH method]] ([[COLL]]).

{{H-PLL}}
{{U-PLL(a)}}
{{U-PLL(b)}}
{{Z-PLL}}

==Permutations of Corners Only==
This is also known as [[CPLL]] (Corner Permute Last Layer). There is one more case in this group, the X-PLL but that is the same alg as [[H-PLL]] + U2, see [[EPLL]].

'''PLL''' is the Permutation of the [[Last Layer]], the last step of many speedsolving methods. In this step, the pieces on the top layer have already been oriented ([[OLL]]) so that the top face has all the same color, and they can now be moved into their solved positions. There are 21 PLLs (13 if you count mirrors and inverses as being the same) and each one is named after a letter. The following page gives a list of all of the PLLs, along with a picture and a list of common [[algorithm]]s for each one. The diagrams below are top views of where you want the pieces to go. For example, the [[PLL#T_Permutation|T Permutation]] (or 'T perm') swaps the UL and UR edges, as well as the UFR and UBR corners. Make sure to try out all of the available algorithms for a case to see which one feels the fastest to you - the same algorithm may not be the fastest for everyone, and shorter algorithms are not always faster than longer ones. PLL is a subgroup of [[ZBLL]].

==Permutations of Edges Only==
This subgroup, [[EPLL]] is used as a [[sub step]] for many speedsolving methods, for example in the [[VH method]] ([[COLL]]).

{{H-PLL}}
{{U-PLL(a)}}
{{U-PLL(b)}}
{{Z-PLL}}

==Permutations of Corners Only==
This is also known as [[CPLL]] (Corner Permute Last Layer). There is one more case in this group, the X-PLL but that is the same alg as [[H-PLL]] + U2, see [[EPLL]].

'''PLL''' is the Permutation of the [[Last Layer]], the last step of many speedsolving methods. In this step, the pieces on the top layer have already been oriented ([[OLL]]) so that the top face has all the same color, and they can now be moved into their solved positions. There are 21 PLLs (13 if you count mirrors and inverses as being the same) and each one is named after a letter. The following page gives a list of all of the PLLs, along with a picture and a list of common [[algorithm]]s for each one. The diagrams below are top views of where you want the pieces to go. For example, the [[PLL#T_Permutation|T Permutation]] (or 'T perm') swaps the UL and UR edges, as well as the UFR and UBR corners. Make sure to try out all of the available algorithms for a case to see which one feels the fastest to you - the same algorithm may not be the fastest for everyone, and shorter algorithms are not always faster than longer ones. PLL is a subgroup of [[ZBLL]].

==Permutations of Edges Only==
This subgroup, [[EPLL]] is used as a [[sub step]] for many speedsolving methods, for example in the [[VH method]] ([[COLL]]).

{{H-PLL}}
{{U-PLL(a)}}
{{U-PLL(b)}}
{{Z-PLL}}

==Permutations of Corners Only==
This is also known as [[CPLL]] (Corner Permute Last Layer). There is one more case in this group, the X-PLL but that is the same alg as [[H-PLL]] + U2, see [[EPLL]].

'''PLL''' is the Permutation of the [[Last Layer]], the last step of many speedsolving methods. In this step, the pieces on the top layer have already been oriented ([[OLL]]) so that the top face has all the same color, and they can now be moved into their solved positions. There are 21 PLLs (13 if you count mirrors and inverses as being the same) and each one is named after a letter. The following page gives a list of all of the PLLs, along with a picture and a list of common [[algorithm]]s for each one. The diagrams below are top views of where you want the pieces to go. For example, the [[PLL#T_Permutation|T Permutation]] (or 'T perm') swaps the UL and UR edges, as well as the UFR and UBR corners. Make sure to try out all of the available algorithms for a case to see which one feels the fastest to you - the same algorithm may not be the fastest for everyone, and shorter algorithms are not always faster than longer ones. PLL is a subgroup of [[ZBLL]].

'''PLL''' is the Permutation of the [[Last Layer]], the last step of many speedsolving methods. In this step, the pieces on the top layer have already been oriented ([[OLL]]) so that the top face has all the same color, and they can now be moved into their solved positions. There are 21 PLLs (13 if you count mirrors and inverses as being the same) and each one is named after a letter. The following page gives a list of all of the PLLs, along with a picture and a list of common [[algorithm]]s for each one. The diagrams below are top views of where you want the pieces to go. For example, the [[PLL#T_Permutation|T Permutation]] (or 'T perm') swaps the UL and UR edges, as well as the UFR and UBR corners. Make sure to try out all of the available algorithms for a case to see which one feels the fastest to you - the same algorithm may not be the fastest for everyone, and shorter algorithms are not always faster than longer ones. PLL is a subgroup of [[ZBLL]].

==Permutations of Edges Only==
This subgroup, [[EPLL]] is used as a [[sub step]] for many speedsolving methods, for example in the [[VH method]] ([[COLL]]).

{{H-PLL}}
{{U-PLL(a)}}
{{U-PLL(b)}}
{{Z-PLL}}

==Permutations of Corners Only==
This is also known as [[CPLL]] (Corner Permute Last Layer). There is one more case in this group, the X-PLL but that is the same alg as [[H-PLL]] + U2, see [[EPLL]].

'''PLL''' is the Permutation of the [[Last Layer]], the last step of many speedsolving methods. In this step, the pieces on the top layer have already been oriented ([[OLL]]) so that the top face has all the same color, and they can now be moved into their solved positions. There are 21 PLLs (13 if you count mirrors and inverses as being the same) and each one is named after a letter. The following page gives a list of all of the PLLs, along with a picture and a list of common [[algorithm]]s for each one. The diagrams below are top views of where you want the pieces to go. For example, the [[PLL#T_Permutation|T Permutation]] (or 'T perm') swaps the UL and UR edges, as well as the UFR and UBR corners. Make sure to try out all of the available algorithms for a case to see which one feels the fastest to you - the same algorithm may not be the fastest for everyone, and shorter algorithms are not always faster than longer ones. PLL is a subgroup of [[ZBLL]].

==Permutations of Edges Only==
This subgroup, [[EPLL]] is used as a [[sub step]] for many speedsolving methods, for example in the [[VH method]] ([[COLL]]).

{{H-PLL}}
{{U-PLL(a)}}
{{U-PLL(b)}}
{{Z-PLL}}

==Permutations of Corners Only==
This is also known as [[CPLL]] (Corner Permute Last Layer). There is one more case in this group, the X-PLL but that is the same alg as [[H-PLL]] + U2, see [[EPLL]].

PLL

2011-07-21T00:33:22Z

BeUndead: /* N Permutation : b */ Added a nice alg for Nb perm. It's basically: "(R' U' R U') { Ja Perm } (U R' U R)"

'''PLL''' is the Permutation of the [[Last Layer]], the last step of many speedsolving methods. In this step, the pieces on the top layer have already been oriented ([[OLL]]) so that the top face has all the same color, and they can now be moved into their solved positions. There are 21 PLLs (13 if you count mirrors and inverses as being the same) and each one is named after a letter. The following page gives a list of all of the PLLs, along with a picture and a list of common [[algorithm]]s for each one. The diagrams below are top views of where you want the pieces to go. For example, the [[PLL#T_Permutation|T Permutation]] (or 'T perm') swaps the UL and UR edges, as well as the UFR and UBR corners. Make sure to try out all of the available algorithms for a case to see which one feels the fastest to you - the same algorithm may not be the fastest for everyone, and shorter algorithms are not always faster than longer ones. PLL is a subgroup of [[ZBLL]].

==Permutations of Edges Only==
This subgroup, [[EPLL]] is used as a [[sub step]] for many speedsolving methods, for example in the [[VH method]] ([[COLL]]).

{{H-PLL}}
{{U-PLL(a)}}
{{U-PLL(b)}}
{{Z-PLL}}

==Permutations of Corners Only==
This is also known as [[CPLL]] (Corner Permute Last Layer). There is one more case in this group, the X-PLL but that is the same alg as [[H-PLL]] + U2, see [[EPLL]].
