Introduction of Rubik's cube

Rubik's cube is among the most loved and popular puzzles. It might seem quite an intimidating challenge for some, but that does not need to be the case. If you have some trouble solving the Rubik's cube, don't give up just yet. 

All you need are a few algorithms (that we will cover later in this article) and sheer determination to solve the cube. The easiest way to learn to solve a cube is to follow proven guides and tutorials. 

In this beginner's guide, we will walk through the steps to solve the cube, with notations and descriptions of the algorithms that you would need to memorize. But before we jump right in, let's get familiar with the terms associated with the Rubik's cube.

Important Vocabulary To Learn

Before we get into algorithms and strategies, let's start with some cube vocabulary. This will make it simple for you to follow algorithms and permutations.

Edge: An edge is a part where two different colors meet, and there are 12 edges in all.

Corner: A corner is a piece located in the corner of each side of the cube. There are eight corners in all visible colors.

Center: The center cubes are situated in the center of each side and have one visible color. They do not move in position, and there are six such centers in a Rubik's cube.  

Faces: The Rubik's cube has six sides or faces. As we go through this guide, you will notice a prominent assumption that you are seeing the cube with the white face up.

Characteristics:

A lifelike cube model.

Seamless rotation.

Infinite puzzles.

Main Sections:

Practice: Enables you to play with the Cube freely.

Algorithms: Presents All CFOP Algorithms containing 41 F2L, 57 OLL, and 21 PLL.

Here are the four stages of the CFOP Method:

1.Solving the Cross

This initial step requires solving the edge pieces on one outer layer of the cube, focusing on a consistently colored centre piece.

2.First Two Layers (F2L)

F2L involves pairing up corner and edge pieces and then relocating them to their correct spots. There are 42 standard scenarios for each corner-edge pair, including the already solved case. Intuitive solutions are also possible.

3.Last Layer Orientation (OLL)

In this phase, the aim is to rearrange the top layer so that all pieces have the same color on top, though at the expense of incorrect colors on other sides. This stage involves a total of 57 algorithms, while a simplified variation known as "two-look OLL" orientates edges and corners separately using nine algorithms – two for edge orientation and seven for corner orientation.

4.Last Layer Permutation (PLL)

The concluding step entails shifting the pieces on the top layer while sustaining their orientation. There are 21 algorithms for this phase, classified by letter names typically related to what they look like when pieces are interchanged. The "two-look" PLL addresses corner and edge permutations separately, utilizing six algorithms – two for corner permutation and four for edge permutation.
