The yellow edges
Line up the 4 yellow edges with their side centers.

Turn the top until at least two edges line up with their center.
If the two lined-up edges are next to each other, put them at the back and on the right, then do R U R' U R U2 R' U.
If they’re opposite (front and back), do the algorithm once from anywhere, then start again: you’ll have adjacent edges.
Remember: If all 4 edges line up with a simple U, the step is already done.
The cases
- Swap two edges: R U R' U R U2 R' U. Turn the top until two edges are correctly placed, one at the back and the other on the right, then do the algorithm.
Troubleshooting
- No pair of edges lines up
- Turn U once more: there are always at least two edges lined up in one of the 4 top positions.
- The lined-up edges are front and back
- Do the algorithm once from anywhere: you get two adjacent edges, then put them at the back and on the right.
