This algorithm is one of the essential OLL cases. It helps you orient the last layer more efficiently.
About This Case:
OLL17 is an 'almost cross' shape where the top resembles a cross but one area is disturbed.
Recognition:
A near-complete cross with a single yellow or block slightly offset from the rest.
Memory Hint:
First check if it's almost a cross—if yes, differentiate between 17 and 18 by the position of the disturbance.
Execution Tips:
Break the algorithm into familiar triggers instead of memorizing as one long sequence.
