Step 3 of 4

OLL (yellow face)

Make the whole top face yellow with a single algorithm, without breaking the first two layers. Look at where the yellow of each top piece is, on top and on the sides, and find the matching case by turning U. The sides of the last layer will be placed in the next step.

The basic situations

Hold the cube as the hint says, then apply the formula. In the app, every formula is animated on a virtual cube.
