Move 1 of 13: Rw

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

Execute the algorithm

Rw U R' U' Rw' U2 R U R U' R2 U2 R

The opening is Rw U R'; the final segment is R2 U2 R. This version contains 13 face, wide, or slice turns and no whole-puzzle rotations.
