3x3 ELL LR Z algorithm
3x3 ELL LR Z algorithm: 11 turns, opening with y M' 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: UF, UB. Reading each side’s top row left to right when facing that side gives F: F L F; R: R U R; B: B R B; L: L U L. The letters identify colors by their reference faces.
Execute the algorithm
y M' U' M U M' U' M U' M' U2 M
The opening is y M' U'; the final segment is M' U2 M. This version contains 11 face, wide, or slice turns and 1 whole-puzzle rotation.
