3x3 · 1LLL
3x3 1LLL 38 52 algorithm
3x3 1LLL 38 52 algorithm: 12 turns, opening with y2 Lw' U. Case recognition, the complete sequence, and practical execution notes.
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: L B U; R: L R R; B: B U R; L: U U B. The letters identify colors by their reference faces.

The opening is y2 Lw' U; the final segment is U' D Lw. This version contains 12 face, wide, or slice turns and 1 whole-puzzle rotation.
