2LLL (OCLL+PLL)
By yoruba and crystalcuber
OCLL+PLL is an efficient method of solving the Last Layer (with edges oriented) in just 2 steps. In total, there are only 28 algs. It's the most bang of your back way of solving the Last Layer, as it can get you to sub 7 and lower, while maintaining a very low algorithm count. If you haven't learned ZBLL yet, use this method.
CFOP users will already know all of these, even with 2-look OLL.
Step 1: OCLL
Orient the Corners of the Last Layer: twist the top corners so the top side is a single color.
This set has 7 algorithms. Recognize the case by the pattern of the top-colored stickers on the corners. Everything else is ignored.
| Name | Case | Algs |
|---|---|---|
| Sune | Sune | R U R' U R U2' R' |
| Antisune | Antisune | L' U' L U' L' U2 L |
| U | U | R2' D' R U2 R' D R U2 R |
| T | T | r U R' U' r' F R F' |
| L | L | F R' F' r U R U' r' |
| H | H | R U R' U R U' R' U R U2' R' |
| Pi | Pi | R U2' R2' U' R2 U' R2' U2' R |
Step 2: PLL
Permute the Last Layer: swap the top pieces around to solve the cube.
This set has 21 algorithms. To recognize the case, look for these distinct features of each PLL:
- Blocks: rectangular chunks of matching pieces.
- Headlights: pairs of matching corner stickers on the same side.
- Adjacent colors: colors belonging to sides next to each other on a solved cube (e.g. red/green).
- Opposite colors: colors belonging to sides across from each other on a solved cube (e.g. red/orange).
