2-Look OLL/PLL

This page brings together the essential 2-Look cases: orientation (OLL), then permutation (PLL).
Learning 2-look lets you bring in the advanced algorithms little by little, with only a few cases to learn at a time.
It's best to know the simplified OLL/PLL before learning 2-Look OLL/PLL.

OLL

3 cases to make the yellow cross, then 7 cases to fully orient the face.
