PLL

The following PLLs are the PLLs I use. They are not made by me; I just extracted

PLLs from different places.

Diagram Algorithm Name Prob Comments3 Cycle PLLs

(Lw’ U R’) D2 (R 

U’ R’) (D2’ R2)

A(a) 1/18

x (R2 D2) (R U R’)

D2 (R U’ R)

A(b) 1/18 I do not really like the

starting moves, but I really

like the R U' R move.

(R U’ R U) (R U) (R 

U’ R’ U’) R2

U(a) 1/18 Fast 2-gen U perm, Use

‘thumb through’ for the first3 moves(R U’ R).

(R2 U) (R U R’ U’)

R’ U’ (R’ U R’)

U(b) 1/18 The inverse of U(a)

Slicing PLLs

(M2 U) (M2 U2)

(M2 U) M2

H 1/72 Insanely fast PLL, the fastest

PLL of all.

(M2 U M2 U) (M’

U2) (M2 U2) (M’

U2)

Z 1/36 This algo is very fast too.

T, J and R perms

(R U R’ U’) R’ F

(R2 U’ R’ U’) (R U

R’) F’

T 1/18 Very fast trigger at the start

with an awkward F' at the

end.

x (U2 Rw’ U’ Rw

U2) (Lw’ U R’ U’

R2)

J(a) 1/18 Fast, though uncomfortable.

(R U R’ F’) (R U R’

U’) R’ F (R2 U’ R’

U’)

J(b) 1/18

(R U’ R’ U’) (R U

R) D (R U’ R) D (R’U2 R’ U’)

R(a) 1/18 The only thing I do not like

about this algo is the D turns.

(R’ U2 R U2’) R’ F

(R U R’ U’) (R’ F’

R2 U’)

R(b) 1/18

V,F,E,Y perms

(R' U R' U') y (R' F'R2 U') (R' U R' F R 

F)

V 1/18 I used this because myfingers are too used to the F

 perm moves below.

(R' U2 R' U’) y (R' F'

R2 U') (R' U R' F) R 

U' F

F 1/18 I like this algorithm, but the

last F is awkward.

x U R' U' L U R U'

L’ U R U’ L U R’ U’

Rw’

E 1/18 Yu Nakijima Algo

F (R U' R' U' R U R')

F' (R U R' U') (R' F

R F')

Y 1/18

G perms: To recognize the case, place the 2 “headlights” on the left, and locate the

2x1 block. The location of this 2x1 block corresponds to the 2 untouched (pieces

with no arrows) in each diagram.

(R2’ Uw R’ U) R’

U’ R Uw’ R2 y L’ U

L

G(a) 1/18 Ends with rotation as it is

much more comfortable to do

L' U L

(R’ U’ R) y (R2’ UwR’ U) ([R U’ R] Uw’

R2)

G(b) 1/18

R2’ Uw’ (R U’ R) U

R’ Uw ([Lw’ R’] Uw

R’ Uw’)

G(c) 1/18 Ending modified to flow

nicely without rotation of the

cube.

(R U R’) y’ (R2’

Uw’ R U’) R’ U R’

Uw R2’

G(d) 1/18

 N perms

(R U' R' U) (l U F

U') (R' F' R U') (R U

l' U R')

 N(a) 1/72 Not a very smooth flowing

PLL (to me)

(R’ U R U’) (R’ F’

U’ F) (R U R’ F) R’

F’ R U’ R 

 N(b) 1/72 This flows much better than

the one above.

I do really recommend learning this with F2L. F2L, two look OLL and PLL would beenough to get a sub 20 average. But if you insist, you can learn OLL.
