I’m late to the party, but I like this solution...

Do we know where the 12-15 move estimate for 223 came from? I’ve seen it repeated a lot. Is it for a fixed orientation or something? I’m certainly not a high level solver, and I would consider a 15 move 223 kinda bad. I’d expect optimal solutions to be something closer to 9-12 moves on average...

More straightforward APB this time and a much narrower ZBLL alg lol x2 // inspection M' B F D F // FB (5/5) U r2 U' M // DFDB (4/9) U' f R f' // BR pair (4/13) F R U R' U' F' // EO (6/19) R U R' U2 R' U' R2 U R // LXS (9/28) U2 R' U' R U' R' U2 R // ZBLL (8/36) Next: B D2 F L2 B2 L2 F D2 F L2...

The 223 solution happens to solve EO, and then it's just BR pair canceled into LXS. I just used whatever cubedb suggested for the zbll, but it looks like that is the top alg on zbll explorer.
