Rubiks Cube Step 4

The document describes the 4th and final step of the Fridrich method for solving the Rubik's Cube, which is permuting the last layer (PLL). It states there are 21 algorithms to choose from to align and solve the final pieces. As alternatives, it mentions using a 2-look PLL method with only 6 algorithms, though it takes longer. Images show the permutations with arrowheads marking the direction.

Step 4 Permutate the last layer PLL

The 4th and final step of the advanced Fridrich method is the permutation of the last layer (PLL). At
this point the white cross, the first two layers (F2L) are both done and the last layers pieces are
oriented (OLL). When we execute this last step our Rubiks Cube will be solved.
Again, X and Y (x,y) are whole cube rotations, while lowercase u is double layer turn.
First rotate the top layer to align as many pieces as possible then do one of the 21 algorithms listed
below. If this seems too many to learn, you should try the 2look PLL which method contains only six
algorithms but takes more time to execute.
I wrote the name of each algorithm at the beginning of the rotation chain. On the images the dots mark
the direction of the permuataitons (arrowheads).
