Learn to solve

From a scrambled cube to full CFOP
1How to Solve a Rubik's Cube→A step-by-step tutorial that takes you from a scrambled cube to your first full solve.
2Beginner F2L→An introductory guide to intuitive F2L - solve the first two layers in pairs, no algorithms to memorize.
32-Look OLL & PLL→Solve the last layer in four short steps with 16 algorithms - the bridge from beginner to full CFOP.

Reference

Look it up as you go
Rubik's Cube Notation→Read cube notation - face turns, wide turns, slices, and the x, y, z rotations.
F2L Notation→How F2L cases are named and described - the slots, pairs, and the moves that pair and insert them.
Speffz Lettering Scheme→The Speffz A–X sticker scheme - the foundation for solving the cube blindfolded.A B
Letter Pair Mnemonics→A memo word for every letter pair - write your own, or take the one most blindfolded solvers use.KQ
Coming soon
Cubing Glossary→A filterable dictionary of speedcubing terms - tagged, sorted by learning order, and linked to the pages that cover them.
