OLL
|
OLL (short for Orientation of the Last Layer) is a last-layer step for 2x2 (see OLL (2x2x2)) and 3x3 that orients all last-layer corners and edges in one step. It is the first last-layer step in many speedsolving methods, including the Fridrich Method. OLL is usually followed by PLL.
Terminology
Dot OLL refers to OLL cases with no edges oriented correctly, so named because the center sticker forms a lone dot of the last-layer color. These cases are typically longer and harder to execute than others and are sometimes avoided. For example, cubers who have not learned full OLL can use partial edge control to avoid these cases altogether. Even some cubers who know full OLL avoid these cases for one-handed solving.
OLL Algorithms
Parentheses in an algorithm signify the triggers of the algorithm. For example, (R U R') (L' U L) shows two triggers in the algorithm, even though it is the same as [R U R' L' U L].
The areas shaded in gray represent the oriented pieces on the top layer. You can tell if a piece is oriented by looking at the top color of the piece in relation to the top center of the cube. If the piece is oriented, the two colors will be the same.
The bars sticking off to the side of an unshaded piece represent where the sticker that needs to be on top is.
Note that all of these algorithms are written in the Western notation, where a lowercase letter means a double-layer turn and rotations are denoted by x, y, and z. (how to add algorithms) Click on an algorithm (not the camera icon) to watch an animation of it. |
All edges flipped correctly
This subgroup, OCLL (also OLL-C) is used in methods which have oriented the LL edges earlier in the solve, such as ZZ. Solving the OCLL is also the second part of the 2-look OLL.
