Move 1 of 6: y'

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, UBR.

Execute the algorithm

y' Rw' U' R U M'

The opening is y' Rw' U'; the final segment is R U M'. This version contains 5 face, wide, or slice turns and 1 whole-puzzle rotation.
