Home » Advanced Rubik's Cube Solution » Rubik's Cube advanced Fridrich - Orient last layer OLL

Previous step Next step

Step 3 - Orient last layer - OLL

While solving the Rubik's Cube with the advanced Fridrich method, when the first two layers (F2L) are solved we
need to orient the last layer (OLL) so the upper face of the Rubik's Cube is all yellow. We don't care if the side
colors don't match, we are going to permute the last layer (PLL) later. Here are a few animated examples. Press
the play to start the animation.

You'll need to learn all the 57 algorithms below to complete this in one step. If this seems too many I recommend you learn the
2look OLL which uses only 9 algorithms but of course it's slower.

Let's group them according to their look.

The last algorithms (Z) should be L F’ L’ U’ L U y’ R U' F'

What does y mean

Kartick Manna
Sharon Nonya y = rotate the entire cube clockwise just like U rotation.
After y you will end up with your front face at the left side and right side will be at front. But top or bottom
side will not change position...
Tell me if you understand ..
Thank you...

There are 2 axes. x and y. y means you rotate the whole cube one rotation clockwise in the y axes.

y means you rotate the whole cube one rotation clockwise on the y axes. x means the same for the x
axes.
