Move 1 of 8: y2

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: UB, UR. Reading each side’s top row left to right when facing that side gives F: F U F; R: R L R; B: B B B; L: L U L. The letters identify colors by their reference faces.

Execute the algorithm

y2 M' U' M U2 M' U' M

The opening is y2 M' U'; the final segment is M' U' M. This version contains 7 face, wide, or slice turns and 1 whole-puzzle rotation.
