Follow each turn at your own pace.
0 / 11

Move 1 of 11: R

Orient the last layer after completing F2L; permutation is handled in the next stage.

OLL 21 belongs to the OCLL group in OLL.

Recognize this starting position

In the inverse-derived training position, the upper-face color points upward at these corner positions: none. Upper edges with that color facing up: UF, UL, UB, UR.

Execute the algorithm

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

The opening is R U R'; the final segment is R U2 R'. This version contains 11 face, wide, or slice turns and no whole-puzzle rotations.
