Move 1 of 12: S

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: UFR. Upper edges with that color facing up: UL, UR. Reading each side’s top row left to right when facing that side gives F: U U L; R: F R B; B: U U R; L: U F L. The letters identify colors by their reference faces.

Execute the algorithm

S R U R' U' R' F R2 U R' U' Fw'

The opening is S R U; the final segment is R' U' Fw'. This version contains 12 face, wide, or slice turns and no whole-puzzle rotations.
