Move 1 of 13: y'

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

Execute the algorithm

y' Rw U' Rw2 D Rw2 U' Rw2 U Rw2 U D' Rw'

The opening is y' Rw U'; the final segment is U D' Rw'. This version contains 12 face, wide, or slice turns and 1 whole-puzzle rotation.
