Beginner CFOP
CFOP is by far the most popular speed cubing method, used to break the world record of 3.13s!
In this series we’ll dip our toes in each of the four steps: Cross / F2L / OLL & PLL.
Before starting, make sure you know how to solve a Rubik’s Cube and read cube notation.
Beginner Cross
This is the first step in the CFOP series. Cross is the most intuitive step, and will become the most important step as you progress on your journey. In this video we’ll see how we can best deal with each type of cross piece.
Beginner F2L
F2L, or First Two Layers, is the second and longest step of the CFOP method, where we solve the first two layers simultaneously. While it's a significant step up from the beginner method, I've worked hard to make the concepts as easy as possible to understand. Good luck!
Beginner OLL
OLL, or Orientation of the Last Layer, is the third step of the CFOP method which solves the yellow face. In this video I'll show you how to solve the yellow face in two steps (sometimes one) by learning just 9 easy algorithms.
Beginner PLL
PLL, or Permutation of the Last Layer, is the last step of the CFOP method which finished the cube. In this video I'll show you how to do PLL in two steps (or less) by learning just 6 algorithms.
How to Get Sub 30!
Solving the Rubik's Cube in under 30 seconds makes you a true speed cuber. Once you've grasped the basics of the CFOP method, these tips will help you break that barrier!
