Move 1 of 16: y2

Solve this specific last-layer orientation and permutation in one sequence after completing the first two layers.

Recognize this starting position

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

Execute the algorithm

y2 Rw' U' Rw U2 R' U Rw' F R F' Rw U' Rw' U Rw

The opening is y2 Rw' U'; the final segment is Rw' U Rw. This version contains 15 face, wide, or slice turns and 1 whole-puzzle rotation.
