Move 1 of 11: Rw'

Solve the four upper corners in Roux after building both side blocks; the remaining edges are solved later.

T Top Row belongs to the T group in CMLL.

Recognize this starting position

In the inverse-derived training position, the upper-face color points upward at these corner positions: UFR, UFL. Upper edges with that color facing up: UF, UB. Reading each side’s upper corner stickers left to right when facing that side gives F: L R; R: B U; B: L R; L: U B. The letters identify colors by their reference faces.

Execute the algorithm

Rw' D' Rw U Rw' D Rw U' Rw U Rw'

The opening is Rw' D' Rw; the final segment is Rw U Rw'. This version contains 11 face, wide, or slice turns and no whole-puzzle rotations.
