Move 1 of 7: R

Permute both oriented layers of the 2x2 in the final Ortega stage.

Recognize this starting position

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

Execute the algorithm

R U' R F2 R' U R'

The opening is R U' R; the final segment is R' U R'. This version contains 7 face, wide, or slice turns and no whole-puzzle rotations.
