Move 1 of 11: U

Insert the last F2L pair and orient the last layer in the same sequence for this VLS case.

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 UR. Corner sticker directions are F→U, D→F, R→R; edge sticker directions are F→U, R→R. Each arrow reads color reference face → current facing direction. Upper corners with the upper-face color facing up: UFL, UBL, UBR.

Execute the algorithm

U S R S' R U' R2 F' U' F R

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