Move 1 of 7: Rw'

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

Execute the algorithm

Rw' U2 R U R' U Rw

The opening is Rw' U2 R; the final segment is R' U Rw. This version contains 7 face, wide, or slice turns and no whole-puzzle rotations.
