3x3 · OLL
3x3 OLL 5 algorithm
3x3 OLL 5 algorithm: 7 turns, opening with Rw' U2 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 5 belongs to the Square Shapes group in OLL.
Recognize this starting position
In the inverse-derived training position, the upper-face color points upward at these corner positions: UFR. Upper edges with that color facing up: UF, UR.
Execute the algorithm
Rw' U2 R U R' U Rw
The opening is Rw' U2 R; the final segment is R' U Rw. This version contains 7 face, wide, or slice turns and no whole-puzzle rotations.
