CFOP method: History & Applications

The CFOP method, also known as the Fridrich method, is one of the most widely used methods for speedsolving the 3×3×3 Rubik's Cube. CFOP stands for Cross, First Two Layers (F2L), Orientation of the Last Layer (OLL), and Permutation of the Last Layer (PLL). Alongside the Roux and ZZ methods, it is regarded as one of the fastest and most popular methods…
