Also known as EPLL. Since the corners of these PLL's are already solved, you just need to solve the edges, which results in easy 2-gen* solutions. (*using just two layers)
( R U R′ U R′ ) U′ R2 U′ ( R′ U R′ U R )
Bar in the front & edge on the left side is opposite relative to its side (or the edge on the right isn't)
Looks like a long alg, but it flows super well and is regripless, which makes it one of my fastest PLL's. To help memorize: see how you move pairs around.
( R′ U )( R′ U′ )( R′ U′ )( R′ U ) R U R2
Bar in the front & edge on the right side is opposite relative to its side (or the edge on the left isn't)
Make sure to watch the video to finger trick this one, since the third R′ can be tricky. Notice how (R′ U) & (R′ U′) repeat.
M2 ( U′ ) M2 ( U2 ) M2 ( U′ ) M2
All edges are opposite compared to its corners. If you notice this is the case for two sides, you can tell it's an H perm.
You can perform this alg from any side. If you use left hand for M slices, do the inverse alg M2 ( U ) M2 ( U2 ) M2 ( U ) M2. Double-flick U2's!
M′ U′ ( M2 U′ )( M2 U′ ) M′ U2 M2
Very similar to the H perm, although this one doesn't have any opposite colors on any side. This forms two checkerboard patterns (red/green and blue/orange)
Make sure to hold a checkerboard (two sides with only two colors) on the right side for this alg. Inverse alg: y M′ U ( M2 U )( M2 U ) M′ U2 M2
Also known as CPLL. Since the edges of these PLL's are already solved, you just need to solve the corners. Notice how these are the only PLL's with x-rotations.
x ( R′ U R′ ) D2 ( R U′ R′ ) D2 R2 x′
The rotation and the R′ are executed as an l′. Make sure to use alternating fingers (pinky/ring or ring/pinky) for the D moves.
Block in the left front, and headlights in the back.
x R2 D2 ( R U R′ ) D2 ( R U′ R ) x′
Same alg as the Aa, just mirrored. Once again make sure to use alternating fingers for the D2's. That's all I ask from you.
Block in the left front, and headlights on the right.
x′ ( R U′ R′ D )( R U R′ D′ )( R U R′ D )( R U′ R′ D′ ) x
Get ready to hate this one. Make sure you push the D′'s with your ring finger (watch video to be sure).
No blocks or bars. Make sure that the two pieces pointed to with arrows are the same color, otherwise you'll end up with a H perm.
These are all the PLL’s with headlights ( - the G-perms ). Lots of similarities between algs here, and lovely finger tricks. Let’s find out why the J perm is so awesome.
( R U R' U' ) ( R' F R2 U' ) R' U' ( R U R' F' )
Two bars attached to headlights, hold the headlights on the left
Probably the best knowns PLL. To memorize this one it can help to track the pairs
( R' U' F' ) ( R U R' U' ) ( R' F R2 U' ) ( R' U' R U ) ( R' U R )
Block in the left front, and headlights on the right.
( R’ U’ F’ ) followed by T- perm with different ending. Long alg, but really easy to recognize (and pretty fast if executed properly)
( R' U L' U2 ) ( R U' R' U2 ) R L
J-shaped big bar, and small bars always on the left side. (hold big bar front)
Alernation between R and L moves can be tricky, but super fast if you master it. You can also execute the last "L" as "r" (I do that when there's no AUF)
( R U R' F' ) ( R U R' U' ) R' F R2 U' R'
L-shaped big bar, and small bars always on the right side. (hold big bar left)
Most people's favorite PLL (and Youtuber) for a reason; it's very fast. notice how ( R U R' F' ) is really similar to ( R U R' U' )
( R U' R' U' ) ( R U R ) D ( R' U' R ) D’ ( R' U2 R' )
One bar attached to the right side of the headlights. Hold headlights left
Key here is to be able to push the D' with your left ring finger.
( R' U2 R U2' ) R' F ( R U R' U' ) R' F' R2
One bar attached to the left side of the headlights. Hold headlights in front.
One of my favorites. Key here is to dubbelflick the U moves (right/left hand). The end of the alg has some similarities to a T perm
These are all the PLL’s without headlights (E-perm technically belongs to this group as well). Most algorthms are very long, and hard to memorize. (execpt for Y, let’s start with that one)
F (R U' R' U') (R U R' F') (R U R' U') (R' F R F')
Two bars with a corner in between (notice how the corner in between is opposite color to the bars)
The alg consists of two OLL's : F (R U' R' U') (R U R' F') and (R U R' U') (R' F R F'). Once you can do them seperately, learning the alg is very easy.
( R' U R' U' ) y ( R' F' R2 U' ) ( R' U R' F ) R F
Block in the left front, no headlights.
The only PLL I do with a rotation. It is hard to master, but once you do it is a solid alg. I use my right index finger for both last F-moves.
( R U R' U ) ( R U R' F' ) ( R U R' U' ) R' F ( R2 U' R' ) ( U2 R U' R' )
Bars on the right, each side of the cube with the corner opposite colored. (I think of it as arrows pointing to the left)
Super long alg, but very easy to memorize. It's basically ( R U R' U ) ( Jb- perm ) ( U2 R U' R' )
( R' U R U' ) ( R' F' U' F ) ( R U R' F ) R' F' ( R U' R )
Bars on the left, each side of the cube with the corner opposite colored. (I think of it as arrows pointing to the right)
One of the most difficult algs to learn, since it's pretty random moves, and you only get a n-perm in 1/72 solves. So make sure you practice this one well.
Also known as the “aah-I-messed-up-again”-perms. G-perm algs are (on average) the most risky algs. That’s why I mostly use algs with D moves, since I tend to mess up these less than the algs with wide u moves etc. However, once you nail the executions, G-perms can be the most enjoyable algs. So focus a lot on finger tricks, thank me later.
R2 U ( R' U R' U' ) ( R U' R2) D U' ( R' U R D' )
Headlights left, bar in front not attached to headlights
One of my faster G perms, and probabably the easiest to recognize. Start with thumb on bottom and make sure to push the last D' with your left ring finger
D ( R' U' R U ) D' ( R2 U R' U ) ( R U' R U' ) R2'
I finger trick it in a pretty unique way so you probably need to watch the video for this one
One of my faster G perms, and probabably the easiest to recognize. Start with thumb on bottom and make sure to push the last D' with your left ring finger
R2' F2 ( R U2 R U2' ) R' F ( R U R' U' ) R' F R2
Headlights on the RIGHT, bar in front not attached to headlights.
This is the only G-perm I don't use D-moves for. Alg is long and difficult, but pretty fool-proof once you master it. Double flicking U2's is important here.
(R U R' U') D (R2 U' R U') (R' U R' U) R2 D'
Headlights left, bar in right/front opposite to headlights
My favourite G-perm! The entire alg flows super well. Make sure to do the U’ and D simultaneously.
