How to recognise it

Corner above the slot with white facing you; the edge is on the left, its top colour matching the corner's top.

Its inverse is another case

Do the 7 algorithm backwards, R U R' U2 R U2 R' U, and you are solving 21.

That's why CubeDojo never scrambles 7 that way: it builds a random state with the case fixed, so you practise 7 and not 21.
