Setup / recognition

Apply this scramble to a solved cube to reach the OLL 38 case so you can practise it on demand:

z2FR'F'RURUR'U'RU'R'

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

About this case

OLL 38 (W Shape 2) is an OLL case — the orientation step of CFOP. W Shape case — two adjacent edges oriented, two corners oriented. 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.
