Move 1 of 19: U2

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

Execute the algorithm

U2 R U' R' U2 R U' R' U R U' R' F' U F U' R U R'

The opening is U2 R U'; the final segment is R U R'. This version contains 19 face, wide, or slice turns and no whole-puzzle rotations.
