Move 1 of 10: U

Insert the final F2L pair and orient the last-layer corners with the last-layer edges already oriented.

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: none.

Execute the algorithm

U R U R D R' U2 R D' R2

The opening is U R U; the final segment is R D' R2. This version contains 10 face, wide, or slice turns and no whole-puzzle rotations.
