CFOP — Cross, F2L, OLL, PLL — is the most popular method for speedsolving the 3×3×3. You solve the cube in four stages, from the bottom up. Almost every world-class speedcuber uses CFOP.

Metodo CFOP
CFOP — Cross, F2L, OLL, PLL — è il metodo più popolare per risolvere il 3×3×3 in velocità. Si risolve il cubo in quattro fasi, dal basso verso l'alto. Quasi tutti gli speedcuber di classe mondiale usano CFOP.
1. Cross
Solve the four bottom edges to form a cross. Plan it entirely during inspection and execute in 8 moves or fewer. Everything else builds on a good cross.
2. F2L — First Two Layers
Pair each corner with its matching edge and insert the four pairs into their slots. 41 standard cases. F2L takes up most of your solve time — the stage where lookahead and efficiency pay off the most.
Suggested order: Cross → F2L (intuitive first, full algorithms later) → PLL → OLL. You don’t need all 119 algorithms to start — a 4-look last layer (2-look OLL + 2-look PLL) gets you most of the way there.
