Algorithm

RU2R2FRF'U2R'FRF'

11 moves. Execute with the solved layers on the bottom and the last layer on top.

Setup / recognition

Apply this scramble to a solved cube to reach the OLL 1 case so you can practise it on demand:

z2FR'F'RU2FR'F'R2U2R'

Category: T Shapes. This is one of the cases you recognise by the shape the top stickers form before the algorithm.

About this case

OLL 1 (T Shape 1) is an OLL case — the orientation step of CFOP. T shape with headlights on front. Once the last layer is fully oriented, the top face shows a single colour and you move on to PLL to permute the pieces into place.
