Move 1 of 13: y

Solve the remaining 2x2 corners when the completed first face has an adjacent swap in its layer.

EG1 S 5 belongs to the S group in EG 1.

Recognize this starting position

In the inverse-derived training position, the upper-face color points upward at these corner positions: UFL. Reading each side’s upper corner stickers left to right when facing that side gives F: R U; R: L U; B: R U; L: B F. The letters identify colors by their reference faces.

Execute the algorithm

y R U' R' U R U' R' U F R U' R'

The opening is y R U'; the final segment is R U' R'. This version contains 12 face, wide, or slice turns and 1 whole-puzzle rotation.
