2-look OLL
In 2-look OLL, orient the last layer edges first, then orient the last layer corners.
Edges
After the F2L step, the last layer edge orientations will be in one of three scenarios.
- No U textures face up
- Two U textures face up, and they form a line, or I-shape, with the center piece.
- Two U textures face up, and they form an L-shape with the center piece.
The following three algorithms cover these situations.
2-look OLL 1: No U Textures Face Up
Setup: Fw U R U′ R′ Fw′ F U R U′ R′ F′
Solution: F R U R′ U′ F′ Fw R U R′ U′ Fw′
Note that the solution is OLL 2 followed by OLL 3.
2-look OLL 2: I-shape
Setup: F U R U′ R′ F′
Solution: F R U R′ U′ F′
2-look OLL 3: L-shape
Setup: F R U R′ U′ F′ U2
Solution 1: Fw R U R′ U′ Fw′
Solution 2: U2 F U R U′ R′ F′
Corners (Edges Oriented)
Once the last layer edge pieces are oriented, the corners will be in one of seven possible arrangements. In the following list, the orientations of the four corners are specified in the order: right back, right front, left front, left back.
- Antisune—U, R, F, L
- Sune—R, F, U, B
- H—B, F, F, B
- Pi—B, F, L, L
- U—U, F, F, U
- T—U, U, F, B
- L—U, F, U, L
Use the following algorithms to orient the corners.
