3x3 ELL BF Z algorithm
3x3 ELL BF Z algorithm: 11 turns, opening with M' U M. Case recognition, the complete sequence, and practical execution notes.
Resolve the orientation and permutation of the last-layer edges after the corners have been solved.
Recognize this starting position
In the inverse-derived training position, the upper-face color points upward at these corner positions: UFR, UFL, UBL, UBR. Upper edges with that color facing up: UL, UR. Reading each side’s top row left to right when facing that side gives F: F U F; R: R B R; B: B U B; L: L F L. The letters identify colors by their reference faces.
Execute the algorithm
M' U M U' M' U M U M' U2 M
The opening is M' U M; the final segment is M' U2 M. This version contains 11 face, wide, or slice turns and no whole-puzzle rotations.
