3x3 COLL L 5 algorithm

3x3 COLL L 5 algorithm: 8 turns, opening with y2 F' Rw. Case recognition, the complete sequence, and practical execution notes.

0 / 9

Move 1 of 9: y2

Solve the last-layer corners with the last-layer edges already oriented; edge permutation may remain.

L 5 belongs to the L group in COLL.

Recognize this starting position

In the inverse-derived training position, the upper-face color points upward at these corner positions: UFL, UBR. 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 L; R: U R; B: B U; L: L F. The letters identify colors by their reference faces.

Execute the algorithm

y2 F' Rw U R' U' Rw' F R

The opening is y2 F' Rw; the final segment is Rw' F R. This version contains 8 face, wide, or slice turns and 1 whole-puzzle rotation.
