Square shape with headlights on front.

Recognition — what OLL 3 looks like

Watch & step through the algorithm in 3D

Algorithm

fRUR'U'f'

6 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 3 case so you can practise it on demand:

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

About this case

OLL 3 (Square Shape 1) is an OLL case — the orientation step of CFOP. Square 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.
