3x3 CMLL U Up Slash algorithm
3x3 CMLL U Up Slash algorithm: 10 turns, opening with U2 R2 D. Case recognition, the complete sequence, and practical execution notes.
Solve the four upper corners in Roux after building both side blocks; the remaining edges are solved later.
U Up Slash belongs to the U 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, UL, UB, UR. Reading each side’s upper corner stickers left to right when facing that side gives F: R B; R: L B; B: U U; L: L F. The letters identify colors by their reference faces.

U2 R2 D R' U2 R D' R' U2 R'
The opening is U2 R2 D; the final segment is R' U2 R'. This version contains 10 face, wide, or slice turns and no whole-puzzle rotations.
