PLL
​Algorithms

Picture
This page has my favorite PLL algorithms grouped with similar versions next to it.  

​Some movements are bracketed by triggers.  The common ones are "sexy move" with is (R U R' U') and "sledgehammer" which is (R' F R F').  I have also added one I'm calling "semi-sexy move" which is similar to "sexy move" but with the U face moving the same way the whole time (eg. R U R' U). The algorithms will be colored whenever a trigger takes place and will count for all variations (eg. Sexy move can be R U R' U', with the left hand L' U' L U, backwards, U R U' R' and a few other combinations.)  Although some variations may look quite different the general movements are the same.

The numbers correspond with those on the SpeedSolving database.
