EPLL

EPLL Information Proposer(s): Proposed: Alt Names: Edges permutation of the last layer Variants: Beginner EP Subgroup: No. Algs: 4 Avg Moves: ~8.2 STM Purpose(s):

Edges permutation of the last layer, abbrevaited EPLL, is the sub group of PLL where only the edges are permuted. EPLL is also used in many other methods, sometimes as a stand alone substep, like in COLL but also as a sub group, for example in ELL or ZBLL.

EPLL algorithms

Note that all of these algorithms assume that you are right-hand dominant and know 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.

Note that the last two algorithms should only be used as Post-AUF tricks, as it saves having to do a U or U' after the PLL if necessary.
