Move 1 of 11: y2

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

EG2 U 5 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: UFR, UFL. Reading each side’s upper corner stickers left to right when facing that side gives F: R B; R: L F; B: U U; L: R F. The letters identify colors by their reference faces.

Execute the algorithm

y2 R2 B2 R' U R' U' R' F R F'

The opening is y2 R2 B2; the final segment is F R F'. This version contains 10 face, wide, or slice turns and 1 whole-puzzle rotation.
