Solving the Rubik's Cube

OLL — all 57 cases

OLL — all 57 cases¶

The 57 cases of Orientation of the Last Layer. You hold the cube with the yellow face on top; the algorithm turns that face entirely yellow without disturbing the first two layers.

You don't need all 57 at once

Start with the 7 cases in the first section: combined with the yellow cross, they are enough to orient any last layer in two steps. That is the method explained in The last layer in 4 looks.

The diagram shows the top face seen from above; the small tabs around it are the yellow stickers visible on the sides. Grey is not a colour: it means "anything but yellow".
