My approach to WaterRoux L7E goes as follows:
2
1. Orient two edges and position them at UL and UR whilst bringing either the FR edge or DR edge to the D-layer. Centers must be solved or off by an M2 in
3
relation to the DL corners
4
2. Using one OL5E algorithm, the remaining edges are oriented. Details are given in the OL5E sheet
5
3. Solve the remaining six edges. Details are given in the L6EP sheet

My thought process:
12
M2 U' M' // O2E (3/3)
The M2 brought two oriented edges to UF and UB.
13
I then did a U' to bring them to UR and UL,
14
and then did an M' to align the centers, ensuring
15
I keep the DR edge in the D-layer.

17
x2 U' M' U M' U' M U x2
I see that the edge at DR is oriented, so I am
18
// OL5E (7/10)
using an algorithm from the DR good set. I then
19
see that the visibly flipped M-slice edges are
20
UF and UB. Since the DR edge is at DF, I am using
21
the second algorithm listed for this case.

23
M' U' M2 U M' U2 M U2 M2
I don't see an efficient way to solve L6EP using
24
// L6EP (9/19)
algorithms. I therefore solve it intuitively by
25
solving UL and UR with M' U' M2 U. I then solve
26
the M-slice with M' U2 M U2 M2.

M U M // O2E (3/3)
The M brought two oriented edges to UF and UB.

I then did a U to bring them to UR and UL,

and then did an M to align the centers, ensuring
40
I keep the DR edge in the D-layer.

42
R U M2 U' R' // OL5E (5/8)
I see that the edge at FR is oriented, so I am
43
using an algorithm from the FR good set. I then
44
see that all edges are oriented. Since the FR
45
edge is not visible, I can infer that it is at DB, and
46
I must therefore using the first algorithm listed for
47
this case.

U2 M2 U' M' U2 M U2 M2 U
I don't see an efficient way to solve L6EP using
50
// L6EP (9/17)
algorithms. I do however notice that the edges
51
at DF and DB can be solved to UL and UR with
52
U2 M2 U'. I then solve the M-slice with M' U2 M
53
U2 M2 U.

Execution
My thought process
58
R U M' U' R' // OL5E (5/5)
I see that O2E is already solved, so I go straight
59
to OL5E. I see that the edge at FR is oriented, so I
60
am using an algorithm from the FR bad set. I then
61
see that the visibly flipped M-slice edges are at UF,
62
UB and DB. Since the FR edge is at DF, I am using
63
the second algorithm listed for this case.
64
65
M' U' y' // setup for L5EP (2/7)
I see that I can bring the DB edge and the white
66
center to the D-layer with an M'. I then recognize
67
I immediately recognize the Back bar and right bar
68
case, due to the 2x2 block at UBL. The U move
69
and rotation are the setup for the algorithm.

r2 U M’ U2 M U r2 U f
I executed the algorithm for the given case and
72
// L5EP + adjust R layer (9/16)
then fixed the R-layer with U B.
