0 / 12

Move 1 of 12: R

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

ZBLL U 48 belongs to the U4 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: L F R; R: B R F; B: U L U; L: F B B. The letters identify colors by their reference faces.

Execute the algorithm

R F U' R' U' R U2 R' U' R F' R'

The opening is R F U'; the final segment is R F' R'. This version contains 12 face, wide, or slice turns and no whole-puzzle rotations.
