Move 1 of 14: R2

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

ZBLL U 21 belongs to the U2 group in ZBLL.

Recognize this starting position

In the inverse-derived training position, the upper-face color points upward at these corner positions: UFR, UFL. 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 B R; R: B F L; B: U R U; L: F L L. The letters identify colors by their reference faces.

Execute the algorithm

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

The opening is R2 D' R; the final segment is R U R2. This version contains 14 face, wide, or slice turns and no whole-puzzle rotations.
