Move 1 of 24: z

Correct the 4x4 reduced-edge permutation parity that cannot occur on a legal 3x3.

Q belongs to the Diag Corner Swap group in PLL Parity.

Match the parity configuration

Q combines its named edge configuration with the parity correction. Use the inverse of this exact sequence to establish its training position; a different parity entry can require a different piece arrangement.

Execute the algorithm

z Rw2 Uw2 R2 Uw2 F R U R' U' R U R' U' R U R' U' F' U2 R2 Uw2 Rw2 z'

The opening is z Rw2 Uw2; the final segment is Uw2 Rw2 z'. This version contains 22 face, wide, or slice turns and 2 whole-puzzle rotations.
