  • R' F R F'4 moves

How to recognise it

Corner above the slot with white facing you; the edge is beside it on the right, already paired with it.

Its inverse is another case

Do the 1 algorithm backwards, R U R' U', and you are solving 4.

That's why CubeDojo never scrambles 1 that way: it builds a random state with the case fixed, so you practise 1 and not 4.
