3x3 COLL Pi 3 algorithm
3x3 COLL Pi 3 algorithm: 14 turns, opening with R' U' F'. Case recognition, the complete sequence, and practical execution notes.
Solve the last-layer corners with the last-layer edges already oriented; edge permutation may remain.
Pi 3 belongs to the Pi group in COLL.
Recognize this starting position
In the inverse-derived training position, the upper-face color points upward at these corner positions: none. 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: L U; R: R R; B: U L; L: U U. The letters identify colors by their reference faces.

R' U' F' R U R' U' R' F R2 U2 R' U2 R
The opening is R' U' F'; the final segment is R' U2 R. This version contains 14 face, wide, or slice turns and no whole-puzzle rotations.
