3x3 VLS UL 164 algorithm
3x3 VLS UL 164 algorithm: 8 turns, opening with U2 F' U. Case recognition, the complete sequence, and practical execution notes.
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
U2 F' U F U2 R U' R'
The opening is U2 F' U; the final segment is R U' R'. This version contains 8 face, wide, or slice turns and no whole-puzzle rotations.
