PLL (Permutation)

PLL moves the pieces around to their correct spots while keeping them yellow facing up.

2-Look PLL

We break this into two steps:

1. Corners: Put all corners in the right place.
2. Edges: Put all edges in the right place.

Step 1: Corners

Look for “Headlights” (two same-colored corner stickers on one side).

• If you have headlights: Put them at the Back and do the T-Perm (or A-Perm).
• If no headlights: Do the Y-Perm (or T-Perm from anywhere).

T-Perm (The most useful algo!)

Step 2: Edges

Now only edges are swapped.

Ua-Perm (Cycle 3 edges clockwise)

One edge is solved (put at Back).
