OLL 52 — I Shape 2

I Shape case — two opposite edges oriented, no corners oriented.

Recognition — what OLL 52 looks like
Watch & step through the algorithm in 3D

Algorithm

10 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 52 case so you can practise it on demand:

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

About this case

OLL 52 (I Shape 2) is an OLL case — the orientation step of CFOP. I Shape case — two opposite 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.
