Move 1 of 11: y

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

EG2 L 5 belongs to the L group in EG 2.

Recognize this starting position

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

Execute the algorithm

y F R' F' R U R U' R B2 R2

The opening is y F R'; the final segment is R B2 R2. This version contains 10 face, wide, or slice turns and 1 whole-puzzle rotation.
