0 / 16

Move 1 of 16: y'

Solve the entire last layer in one sequence when its edges are already oriented.

ZBLL L 1 belongs to the L1 group in ZBLL.

Recognize this starting position

In the inverse-derived training position, the upper-face color points upward at these corner positions: UFL, UBR. Upper edges with that color facing up: UF, UL, UB, UR. Reading each side’s top row left to right when facing that side gives F: F L L; R: U R F; B: R F U; L: R B L. The letters identify colors by their reference faces.

Execute the algorithm

y' R' U' R U' R' U2 R' D' R U2 R' D R U2 R

The opening is y' R' U'; the final segment is R U2 R. This version contains 15 face, wide, or slice turns and 1 whole-puzzle rotation.
