How to recognise it

Two adjacent edges are yellow on top, forming an L with the centre. Hold them at the front and on the right.

Its inverse is another case

Do the L algorithm backwards, f U R U' R' f', and you are solving Line.

That's why CubeDojo never scrambles L that way: it builds a random state with the case fixed, so you practise L and not Line.
