Move 1 of 10: y'

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

Execute the algorithm

y' R U R' U' M' U R U' Rw'

The opening is y' R U; the final segment is R U' Rw'. This version contains 9 face, wide, or slice turns and 1 whole-puzzle rotation.
