Move 1 of 12: F

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: L U U; R: F U B; B: U U L; L: U U U. The letters identify colors by their reference faces.

Execute the algorithm

F R U R' U' F' Fw R U R' U' Fw'

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