3x3 OLL 52 algorithm
3x3 OLL 52 algorithm: 10 turns, opening with y2 R' F'. Case recognition, the complete sequence, and practical execution notes.
Orient the last layer after completing F2L; permutation is handled in the next stage.
OLL 52 belongs to the Line Shapes group in OLL.
Recognize this starting position
In the inverse-derived training position, the upper-face color points upward at these corner positions: none. Upper edges with that color facing up: UF, UB.
Execute the algorithm
y2 R' F' U' F U' R U R' U R
The opening is y2 R' F'; the final segment is R' U R. This version contains 10 face, wide, or slice turns and 1 whole-puzzle rotation.
