Beginner's method

From scrambled to solved in 7 steps, layer by layer.

CFOP · step 2

The first two layers at once: corner and edge as a pair.

CFOP · step 3

The whole yellow face in one go, with 2-look OLL to start.

CFOP · step 4

The last layer into place, with 2-look PLL to start.

Never solved the cube: look at the notation and follow the beginner's method, step by step.
You can solve it with the beginner's method: move on to CFOP. Learn 2-look OLL and 2-look PLL first (16 algorithms), then F2L.
You want faster times: complete all 57 OLL and 21 PLL cases.
