Move 1 of 9: y'

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

EG2 U 2 belongs to the U group in EG 2.

Recognize this starting position

In the inverse-derived training position, the upper-face color points upward at these corner positions: none. Reading each side’s upper corner stickers left to right when facing that side gives F: R R; R: F L; B: D D; L: L B. The letters identify colors by their reference faces.

Execute the algorithm

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

The opening is y' F R; the final segment is F R2 B2. This version contains 8 face, wide, or slice turns and 1 whole-puzzle rotation.
