Fridrich (CFOP) Method - PLL

Introduction

PLL is the final step of the Fridrich method. Unlike in the previous steps, it is not necessary to go slowly because there is nothing to look ahead for, so the algorithms can be done at full speed.

Setting Up

The most confusing part with PLL might me the set-up and recognition. The easiest way to do this is with AUF, or "Adjusting U-face." This basically means that you have to turn the U-layer a few times before getting one of the 21 possible cases. You have look for "blocks" of correctly connected last-layer cubies. Two adjacent cubies are "connected" if their adjacent stickers are the same.
