Ways To Solve a Rubik's Cube

In the world of solving Rubik's Cubes, there are things we call methods which are basically steps that you follow in order to solve the cube. These are the methods that are used by most Cubers:

CFOP Method: The Method name comes from the steps that it executes, C - Cross, F - First two layers, O - Orientation of the last layer, P - Permutation of the last layer. This method is the most popular among speed cubers.


Beginner's Method: A Simpler version of the CFOP Method with less algorithms, although it is not ideal for fast solvers. It basically stretches out the "First Two Layers" into distinct steps.


Roux Method: Roux is a method that is a large competitor with CFOP. The fastest Roux solver is currently 15th in the World for a single solve, although the same solve was 3rd in the World when it was set. He has also used the method to win many UK and European competitions, proving that it truly is a competitor to CFOP. Whereas CFOP relies on mainly on look-ahead with only a small focus on intuitive solving (the F2L stage, although it could be argued that it is intuitive, has only a certain number of possible cases for each pair that eventually become muscle memory, whereas the cross has many more possibilities), two major steps in Roux involve intuitive block building. Also, being able to accurately turn the cube fast is arguably more important in Roux.
