TutorialStep 5: Last Layer

3. Solving the Last Layer

The final step of APB is the last layer. Solvers can use two main strategies here:

OCLL + PLL

First solving OCLL and then PLL is definitely the easiest option. It requires 28 algorithms, although most CFOP solvers will already have learned these.

1. OCLL

OCLL are the OLL algorithms where the cross is already solved. They solve the orientation of the U-layer corners. They can be found here  (Make sure you select OCLL at the top).

2. PLL

PLL permutes the last layer pieces. The algorithms can be found here .

ZBLL

At a higher level, ZBLL can be used to solve the last layer in one step. Further information on ZBLL can be found here.
