Watch & step through the algorithm in 3D

Algorithm

r'U2RUR'Ur

7 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 5 case so you can practise it on demand:

z2r'U'RU'R'U2r

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

About this case

OLL 5 (C Shape 1) is an OLL case — the orientation step of CFOP. C shape with bar on right. 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.
