Oct 23, 2025 · First Two Layers, or F2L refers to the first two bottom layers of the 3x3x3 cube, or essentially all layers up until the last layer on larger cubes. The definition is a little different …

CFOP (Cross, F2L, OLL, PLL, pronounced C-F-O-P or C-fop) is a 3x3 speedsolving method proposed by several cubers around 1981. It is also known as the Fridrich Method after its popularizer, Jessica …

Mar 28, 2021 · Get used to intuitive F2L, then move onto the algs. They aren’t that hard, but I suggest you fully master intuitive F2L and learn the hard cases first. Practice. But not just solves, like …

Jan 20, 2025 · Fairly new to speed cubing. I can do beginner method in around 2 minutes. I've been working on F2L really hard, learning algs, watching YouTube, and practicing hours a day, etc. I can't …

The F2L methods (CFOP (AKA Fridrich method), Petrus) can be done intuitively. Note that before doing the last pair, you have an opportunity to orient the edges. Finally you will need to do the last layer, …

The ZZ method is a 3x3 speedsolving method created by Zbigniew Zborowski in 2006. The method is focused both on low move count and high turning speed; during the majority of F2L, the solver only …

Then they will proceed to do F2L. Although you can solve the cross on any side, including the front, back, and the right or left sides, most cubers advise doing the cross on the bottom, as this provides …

Feb 21, 2025 · Keyhole First Two Layers or Keyhole F2L, sometimes named working corner, is a method that solves, normally, the first two bottom layers of the 3x3x3 cube. It is an efficient method …

Aug 28, 2024 · Petrus was the second most popular speedcubing method behind CFOP. The Petrus Method, invented by Lars Petrus, is a block-building method where the F2L is solved intuitively with …

May 20, 2024 · The F2L is solved using a variety of block building techniques for convenience, and a large number of algorithms are used to solve the last layer in 1 or 2 looks.
