PLL Z — Z Permutation

Edges Only.

Algorithm

9 moves. Execute with the cube already oriented (top face one colour) and the last layer on top.

Setup / recognition

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

Perm family: Z. You recognise it by the edges only — read the headlights, bars and blocks on the side stickers before turning.

About this case

PLL Z (Z Permutation) is a PLL case — the permutation step of CFOP. Edges Only. It is performed after OLL has oriented the top face; once this algorithm cycles the pieces into place, the cube is solved.
