How to recognise it

Corner above the slot with white facing you; the edge is at the back, its top colour matching the corner's right sticker.

Its inverse is another case

Do the 9 algorithm backwards, F' U F U' R U R' U, and you are solving 10.

That's why CubeDojo never scrambles 9 that way: it builds a random state with the case fixed, so you practise 9 and not 10.
