PLL trainer

Drill all 21 PLL cases until each algorithm comes back on sight, whatever angle it shows up at.

Configuration

Each case drawn at random.

Criteria

Add criteria to your training. Any attempt that misses one counts as a DNF.

How PLL training works

What PLL is

PLL, permutation of the last layer, is the last step of the CFOP method: the last layer is already oriented and PLL puts every piece in place. There are 21 cases, each with its own algorithm.

How the drill works

Select the cases you want to learn, choose an algorithm mode and add criteria such as a time limit. A connected smart cube shows your recognition and execution times for each case.

How to practice here

Start with a few cases and widen the selection as each one stops slowing you down. Adaptive mode, a Pro feature, keeps you on your weakest cases.

Look up the PLL algorithms in the library

How many PLL algorithms are there?

21 cases. A common first step is 2 Look PLL, which needs only six algorithms, before learning all 21.

How is this different from the PLL recognition trainer?

This trainer is about executing the algorithm. The PLL recognition trainer is about naming the case as fast as you can, without touching the cube.

Do I need a smart cube to use the trainer?

No. A smart cube is optional. When connected, it adds separate recognition and execution times.

Where do I find the algorithms?

Every case has a diagram and algorithms in the PLL algorithm library, linked above. Use the trainer to drill the ones you pick.
