OLL: P and W shapes

Read more

Four P shapes and two W staircases.

Goal

Make the whole top yellow when you see a P or a W.

How to recognize it

P: two yellow corners on one side plus two neighboring yellow edges, a 2x3 block missing one sticker. W: the yellow stickers form a staircase.

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 44 is F U R U' R' F', the L algorithm from Yellow cross. OLL 43 is its mirror. The two W shapes mirror each other.

Check before moving on

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