Move 1 of 9: 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: 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: U B B; R: L L F; B: U U R; L: U U B. The letters identify colors by their reference faces.

Execute the algorithm

y R U R2 F R F2 U F

The opening is y R U; the final segment is F2 U F. This version contains 8 face, wide, or slice turns and 1 whole-puzzle rotation.
