Move 1 of 12: U2

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

EG1 U 2 belongs to the U group in EG 1.

Recognize this starting position

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

Execute the algorithm

U2 y R' U R' U' R U' R' U' F2 R2

The opening is U2 y R'; the final segment is U' F2 R2. This version contains 11 face, wide, or slice turns and 1 whole-puzzle rotation.
