CFOP Method: Introduction

Summary

Learning speedcubing with the CFOP method can feel overwhelming due to its complexity. CFOP involves four main steps: the cross, F2L, OLL, and PLL. Beginner versions of these steps simplify the learning process. While the learning order is flexible, a structured approach is helpful. This video recommends starting with beginner F2L, which involves simultaneously inserting a corner and edge piece into the first and second layers, unlike the standard beginner method which does them separately. The video will cover a suggested learning order and explain the basic concepts of each step for beginners.
