🩹 Simple 6th - IJ + Anti-PCO - Recovery (1)
Recovery sometimes requires a sequence of spins involving 180:

Try to hold IJ for increased PC chance.
Mirror in a way that will allow you to hold J/L (for mirror) if you need to.
⭐ Simple No O 6th - IJ + Anti-PCO (2)
No O 6th is symmetrical and therefore can be mirrored. Mirroring is not necessary for Simple No O 6th build cover.
However, it may increase your chances of being able to hold a piece.

Simple 6th - PCO
Note that PCO is not one setup, it's a setup family. PCO comes in several different forms depending on in which columns the hole is. This has an effect on which recoveries can be used.
For recovery into Jeremy 7th, keep in mind that the open side of the standing J/L piece must be facing empty space.
