3x3 COLL U 5 algorithm
3x3 COLL U 5 algorithm: 9 turns, opening with R2 D' R. 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.
U 5 belongs to the U group in COLL.
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: F R; R: B L; B: U U; L: F L. The letters identify colors by their reference faces.
Execute the algorithm
R2 D' R U2 R' D R U2 R
The opening is R2 D' R; the final segment is R U2 R. This version contains 9 face, wide, or slice turns and no whole-puzzle rotations.
