0 / 8

Move 1 of 8: U'

Insert the target corner–edge pair while keeping the cross and the other completed slots intact.

F2L 5 belongs to the Disconnected Pairs group in F2L.

Recognize this starting position

For the front-right target slot in this training state, the DFR corner is at UFR and the FR edge is at UB. Corner sticker directions are F→U, D→F, R→R; edge sticker directions are F→U, R→B. Each arrow reads color reference face → current facing direction.

Execute the algorithm

U' R U R' U2 R U' R'

The opening is U' R U; the final segment is R U' R'. This version contains 8 face, wide, or slice turns and no whole-puzzle rotations.
