PLL Algorithms

Permutation of Last Layer (also called PLL) is the last step of the CFOP Rubik's Cube method. CFOP stands for Cross, F2L, OLL, and PLL.

Up to this point, the first two layers should be solved, and the last layer should be oriented. After PLL, the entire Rubik's Cube should be solved.

PLL has 21 algorithms, so it has less algorithms than OLL. Most cubers recommend learning PLL before OLL because you only need to learn 21 algorithms to improve your times.

This site tells you all 21 PLL algorithms, the fingertricks, and how to remember them.
