0 / 22

Move 1 of 22: y

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

ZBLL U 31 belongs to the U3 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: R L R; R: B B F; B: U R U; L: B F F. The letters identify colors by their reference faces.

Execute the algorithm

y R' U R U R' F' R U R' U' R' F R2 U' R' U2 R U' R' U2 R

The opening is y R' U; the final segment is R' U2 R. This version contains 21 face, wide, or slice turns and 1 whole-puzzle rotation.
