8 moves · R and U only

Alternatives

  • U R U2 R2 F R F'7 moves
  • R U' R U R' U R U2 R29 moves · R and U only

How to recognise it

White on top, corner above the slot; the edge is at the back, its top colour matching the corner's right sticker.

Its inverse is another case

Do the 19 algorithm backwards, R U R' U' R U2 R' U', and you are solving 5.

That's why CubeDojo never scrambles 19 that way: it builds a random state with the case fixed, so you practise 19 and not 5.
