The way I recognize the PLL case is to study the "band" around the U layer. This will be the only unsolved part of the cube. What I do then is to take notice...

Hi Wayne! U can cycle any 3 edges on last layer quite easily. Use a basic 3- cycle with some setup moves. Here is one example: r2-lD2l'-U-ld2l'-U'-r2 Another...
