The first two layers (F2L) of the Rubik's Cube are solved simultaneously rather than individually, reducing the solve time considerably. In the second step of the Fridrich method we solve the four white corner pieces and the middle layer edges attached to them.

algorithms before learning intuitive F2L. The black part of each algorithm sets up the pieces to a basic insertion case, which is then written in blue.

Here are intuitive solutions to solve each F2L case in the front. Click on the case to jump to the video.

There are 41 different variations for solving the corner-edge pieces in the F2L step. Many of these cases are very similar to each other (mirrors) and therefore use similar solutions. The variations are divided into groups according to where the corner & …

Algorithms for F2L

Collection of F2L (First Two Layers) CFOP method algorithms. Digital cheat sheet tutorial on how to solve 3x3x3 Rubik's cube. Solution for 3x3 magic cube and speedcube puzzle.

As much as possible, cube rotations and extra moves should be avoided. While intuitive F2L takes you most of the way there, it's not always enough. With this video and the F2L algorithm document, you can check all of your solutions against the best ones.

After learning beginner F2L, it’s time to master the 41 standard F2L cases which will form the foundation of your F2L knowledge. In this video, I’ll show you how to solve each case efficiently & intuitively in the front slots, using great finger tricks!

In this module, you will begin your transition from the Beginner's method to the standard CFOP method. CFOP stands for Cross, F2L, OLL, PLL (Cross, First 2 Layers, Orientation of Last Layer, Permutation of Last Layer). Here, you will be learning basic F2L techniques.
