Orient corners and finish

Keep the whole cube grip fixed with yellow up. Bring an unsolved upper corner to upper-front-right using only U. Repeat R' D' R D in complete four-move groups until its yellow sticker faces up. Expect lower layers to look disturbed during this stage.

Use only U to bring the next unsolved corner into upper-front-right; do not rotate the whole cube or stop halfway through a four-move group. Repeat until every yellow corner faces up, then align U. When performed correctly from the required starting state, the lower layers restore after the whole process.

Worked example

The temporary disturbed appearance is not a reason to reset halfway. Check yellow orientation after each complete group.

Try it yourself

Finish all corners on a real cube, then check all six faces. If lower layers remain wrong, review grip and completed move groups.

Interactive 3×3 cube practice

Yellow up, white down, green front, red right. Turns use that fixed grip; changing the view changes the camera only.

Supported moves: U D R L F B, optionally followed by ' or 2. No whole-cube, slice or wide moves.

Solved practice cube. This simulator demonstrates moves; it does not solve an arbitrary physical cube.
