0 / 7

Move 1 of 7: Rw'

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

OLL 5 belongs to the Square Shapes group in OLL.

Recognize this starting position

In the inverse-derived training position, the upper-face color points upward at these corner positions: UFR. Upper edges with that color facing up: UF, UR.

Execute the algorithm

Rw' U2 R U R' U Rw

The opening is Rw' U2 R; the final segment is R' U Rw. This version contains 7 face, wide, or slice turns and no whole-puzzle rotations.
