WVLS · all 27 Winter Variation algorithms

Winter Variation orients all four last-layer corners while you insert your final F2L pair, letting you skip OLL-corners and go straight to PLL.

Prerequisite: the final corner-edge pair is already connected in the U layer, and all last-layer edges are oriented (yellow cross done). After WVLS every piece is oriented — finish with a single PLL.
