3x3 ELL FL Ub algorithm
3x3 ELL FL Ub algorithm: 9 turns, opening with y' Rw U. 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: UB, UR. Reading each side’s top row left to right when facing that side gives F: F U F; R: R F R; B: B B B; L: L U L. The letters identify colors by their reference faces.
Execute the algorithm
y' Rw U R' U' M U R U' R'
The opening is y' Rw U; the final segment is R U' R'. This version contains 9 face, wide, or slice turns and 1 whole-puzzle rotation.
