0 / 12

Move 1 of 12: y

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

ZBLL U 4 belongs to the U1 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 B B; R: L R B; B: U L U; L: L F F. The letters identify colors by their reference faces.

Execute the algorithm

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

The opening is y R U; the final segment is R2 U2 R'. This version contains 11 face, wide, or slice turns and 1 whole-puzzle rotation.
