3x3 OLL 38 algorithm
3x3 OLL 38 algorithm: 12 turns, opening with R U R'. Case recognition, the complete sequence, and practical execution notes.
Orient the last layer after completing F2L; permutation is handled in the next stage.
OLL 38 belongs to the W Shapes group in OLL.
Recognize this starting position
In the inverse-derived training position, the upper-face color points upward at these corner positions: UFL, UBR. Upper edges with that color facing up: UL, UB.
Execute the algorithm
R U R' U R U' R' U' R' F R F'
The opening is R U R'; the final segment is F R F'. This version contains 12 face, wide, or slice turns and no whole-puzzle rotations.
