Permutation of the oriented Last Layer pieces (PLL)
Note: This page will render best in Firefox.
I got these algs from various sources.

Allan CW [Allan CCW] 4/72 PLL1		-
		R2URUR'U'R'U'R'UR' [11]	OC2S	R2 either way (R2' is smooth). Very standard alg. Also learn the alternate (from the back).
		(y')R2URUR2'U'R'U'R'U2R' [11]	OC2S	Alternate. Good to know.
		L'UL'U'L'U'L'ULUL2 [11]	OC2S	Standard alg (inverse).
		F2'UM'U2MUF2' [7]	OC2S	Petrus's. More intuitive.
		M2'U'MU2M'U'M2' [7]	OC2S	Trigger like wild. I do M as r'R Erik likes this one. It works for middle edges on 5x5 (good for 5x5x5 BLD).
		RUR'URU2R'(y')R'U'RU'R'U2R [14]	OC2S	Comprised of two Sunes. Can be made 2-gen
Allan CCW [Allan CW] 4/72 PLL2		This one's nice. :-)
		L2U'L'U'LULULU'L [11]	OC2S	Standard alg. Also learn the alternate (from the back).
		(y')R2U'R'U'R2URURU2'R [11]	OC2S	Alternate. Good to know.
		RU'RURURU'R'U'R2 [11]	OC2S	Standard alg (inverse).
		F2U'M'U2MU'F2 [7]	OC2S	Petrus's. More intuitive.
		M2'UMU2'M'UM2' [7]	OC2S	Trigger like wild. I do M as r'R Erik likes this one. It works for middle edges on 5x5 (good for 5x5x5 BLD).
		L'U'LU'L'U2LFUF'UFU2F' [14]	OC2S	Comprised of two Sunes. Can be made 2-gen
Arne [Arne] 1/72 PLL3		-
		M2'U'M2'U2'M2'U'M2' [7]	OC2S	I double-trigger M2' with the right ring and middle fingers. Some people do r2'R2 (good on a stiff cube) or R'rM'.
		R2U2'R2'U2'R2U'R2'U2'R2U2'R2'U [11]	OC2S	Grip R with thumb on D and other fingers on U. Don't regrip. Simple.
		R2U2RU2R2U2R2U2RU2R2 [11]	OC2S	I think Arnaud van Galen likes this as a 2-gen...
		(RL)U2(L'R')y'(R'L')U2(RL) [10]	OC2S	Good for big cubes.
Bert [Bert] 2/72 PLL4		-
		M2'U'M'U2'M2'U2'M'UM2' [9]	OC2S	Prepare to encounter the U. Found this one by conjugation during chemistry class...
		U'M2U'M2U'M'U2'M2'U2'M'U' [9]	OC2S	Smooth... Somehow not fast enough.
		UR'U'RU'RURU'R'URUR2U'R'U [17]	OC2S	Go fast. Normally I don't like AUFs at the end, but I don't mind it here. For its mirror, I move the last U to the beginning.
		R2URUR'U'R'U'R'URU'R'U'RURURU'R [21]	OC2S	Two joined Allans (easy to reconstruct).
		M2'uM2'u'S'M2'S [7]	OC2S	Optimal STM
A CW [A CCW] 4/72 PLL5		-
		(yx')L'UL'D2LU'L'D2L2' [9]	OC2S	Pick your half-twist directions...
		(x')R2'D2R'U'RD2R'UR' [9]	OC2S
		(y2)RUl'U'LUR'U'L'U(R2x')U'R' [13]	OC2S	No regrip. :-) I can do this faster than the standard alg. Found this accidentally while trying an EC. Conjugated Niklas.
		LRD2R'U'RD2R'UL' [10]	OC2S
		(y)R'UL'D2LU'L'D2LR [10]	OC2S
		(yU)rUr'U'r'Fr2U'r'U'rUr'F' [14]	OC2S	Just like the T. Based on the T.
A CCW [A CW] 4/72 PLL6		-
		(x')RU'RD2R'URD2R2' [9]	OC2S	Pick your half-twist directions...
		(zx')L2D2LUL'D2LU'L [9]	OC2S
		(y')L'U'rUR'U'LURU'(L2'x')UL [13]	OC2S	A little worse than the mirror... Found this accidentally while trying an EC.

		(y)R'L'D2LUL'D2LU'R [10]	OC2S
E [E] 2/72 PLL7		-
		(x)UR'U'LURU'r2'U'RULU'R'U [15]	OC2S	Double-commutator.
		LU'Ru2'L'UR'LU'Ru2'L'UR' [14]	OC2S	Some people would prefer to do this with U on R (and U2 instead of U2')... Like the N's... I found this with Cube Explorer and modified.
T [T] 4/72 PLL8		-
		RUR'U'R'FR2U'R'U'RUR'F' [14]	OC2S	I do the last F' with the left index finger (R'F' almost becomes l'U'). The T.
		R2'UR2U'R2(U'D)R2U'R2'UR2D' [12]	OC2S	Works on a domino
Y [Y] 4/72 PLL9		-
		FRU'R'U'RUR'F'RUR'U'R'FRF' [17]	OC2S	Standard alg.
		(y')R2'UR2'UR2d'R'U'RF2R'UR [13]	OC2S	You might want to hold the cube differently for the last few moves.
		(U'x')U'RUl'U'R'UR2UR'U'l'URU' [15]	OC2S	I think I found this on the twistypuzzles forum. It's shorter than the standard alg.
		R2U'R'URU'z'y'L'U'RU'R'U'LU [14]	OC2S	The last two turns are not smooth. :-( I hear it's great for OH.
		R2D'R2'UR2U'R2'DR2U'R2'UR2UR2' [15]	OC2S	Don't regrip R. About as great as an alg in UR2D can get.
J [L] 4/72 PLL10		-
		R'ULU'RU2'L'ULU2'L' [11]	OC2S	Niklas+Sune.
		LU2L'U'LU2R'UL'U'R [11]	OC2S	Anti-Sune + Niklas.
		(y'U')RUR'F'RUR'U'R'FR2U'R' [13]	OC2S	T-like. Very fast.

F [F] 4/72 PLL14		-
		R'URU'R2'(y')R'U'RU(y)lF'(R2x')U'R'U [15]	OC2S	From Stefan's site; I think it's nicer than the standard alg.
		(d')R'URU'R2'(z')R'U'RU(zx)RUR'U'R2 [14]	OC2S
		(d')M'U2'rU'lU2'r'Ur'R2U2'R2' [12]	OC2S	Optimal in HTM. I edited one I found to be in URrM.
V [V] 4/72 PLL15		-
		RU2'R'U2L'URU'LU'L'UR'U'L [15]	OC2S	Kinda bad.
		L'URU'LUL'UR'U'LU2RU2R' [15]	OC2S	Kinda bad.
		RU'RUR'DRD'RU'DR2UR2D'R2 [16]	OC2S	I trigger the D's with ring finger I was searching for URD algs and found this. The end is kinda bad, especially the R2. Maybe good for OH...
N (r) [N (l)] 1/72 PLL16		The N. No really good algs for this. Pick one and try to find an acceptable way to do it. At least they're each half as rare as most others..
		RU'R'UlUFU'l'U'lU'RUl'UR' [17]	OC2S
		(U)RU'LU2'R'UL'RU'LU2'R'UL' [14]	OC2S	Some people do this alg from different angles and with U on R...

		(U')L'UR'U2LU'L'RUR'U2LU'R [14]	OC2S	Some people do this alg from different angles and with U on R...
RLG [RBG] 4/72 PLL18		-
RLG [RBG] 4/72 PLL18		RUR'y'R2u'RU'R'UR'uR2' [12]	OC2S	I do the R2' at the end more as l2'. I do the R2' at the end more as l2'.
