Move 1 of 10: y2

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

Execute the algorithm

y2 R U R' U' M' U R U' Rw'

The opening is y2 R U; the final segment is R U' Rw'. This version contains 9 face, wide, or slice turns and 1 whole-puzzle rotation.
