OLL: no yellow edges (dots)

Read more

Eight shapes with only the yellow center, the hardest to recognize.

Goal

Make the whole top yellow when no edge is yellow.

How to recognize it

No top edge is yellow. Count the yellow corners: 0, 1, 2 or 4, then check the top rows of the sides.

How to hold the cube

White face on the bottom, first two layers done. Each shape's grip is shown under the controls. Turn U to line the shape up.

The main idea

OLL 2, 3 and 4 are two short algorithms joined, each an F R U R' U' F' or its Fw version. OLL 20 (the X shape) uses M.

Check before moving on

The whole top is yellow, and the first two layers are still done.

Next lesson

You have finished full OLL. Go to 2-look PLL: corners.

Step 1 / 11

R: Right face: turn 90°, front face goes up

Only the center is yellow. The left and right sides both have a full yellow top row.

Hold the two full yellow rows on the left and right sides.

Step 1 of 11: R. Right face: turn 90°, front face goes up
