OLL 47 — L Shape 1

L Shape case — two adjacent edges oriented, no corners oriented.

Recognition — what OLL 47 looks like

Watch & step through the algorithm in 3D

Algorithm

R'U'R'FRF'R'FRF'UR

12 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 47 case so you can practise it on demand:

z2R'U'FR'F'RFR'F'RUR

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

About this case

OLL 47 (L Shape 1) is an OLL case — the orientation step of CFOP. L Shape case — two adjacent edges oriented, no 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.
