C Shape

OLL 46 — C Shape 2

C Shape case — two opposite edges oriented, two corners oriented.

Recognition — what OLL 46 looks like

Watch & step through the algorithm in 3D

Algorithm

R'U'R'FRF'UR

8 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 46 case so you can practise it on demand:

z2R'U'FR'F'RUR

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

About this case

OLL 46 (C Shape 2) is an OLL case — the orientation step of CFOP. C Shape case — two opposite 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.
